MU Orientation

We successfully navigated our 48 hours for college orientation. We flew in Thursday evening and arrived at the dorms around 10:30 after a stop at Skyline chili. With the sun setting after 9:00, we enjoyed daylight most of the drive. 

We didn’t need to be at orientation until 10:00 so we walked from the dorm up to The Bagel Deli for breakfast and ate it on campus. We then spent the day learning about transitioning to college, figuring out class schedules and eating at the dining hall. In the evening, the students had activities and the adults fended for themselves. 

On Saturday, the students met their orientation teams at 7:00 and spent the morning doing activities and registering for classes. I picked up a few things at Walmart and grabbed coffee at Starbucks before attending a few sessions about residential life, the career center and the learning center. 

It was a good event and provided an opportunity to see more of the campus and meet a few students and accomplishment course registration! 

Other than D-man feeling under the weather when he woke up Saturday morning and some frustration with his course schedule, it was a success.
