Well I went to good ole freshmen orientation today. It wasn't near as bad as I expected though. So i got up at 6:20, that was fun and we got there and I had to wait to take the math placement exam with everyone else. There are suppose to be 300 people per orientation session and i was near the front cause they put you in a movie category, for groups. I was in Animal House, what a perfect group for college lol. But anyway I was looking around, i didnt know a single soul. I figured since 26 out of 74 people in my class are going to utc, 1 would be there that i knew but i didnt know anyone. Well come to find out, everyone was asked who came from out of state, we had a Chicago, people gasped but then we had a California. Yes, California. Who would come to TN from CA? Well everyone i talked to was from out of town. I saw 1 red bank shirt, 1 mcallie and 1 baylor. That was it. Everyone else was from Memphis or so. One lady asked my parents where we were from and she goes, Chatt and the woman looked at her and goes what? Your from here? And we were like yeah and she thought everyone came from out of town to come here and i was like umm..okay yeah lol.
Well on the math, i walked in this huge room and sat down at a table with a group of girls, one of whom was insane. She was talking to some guy that at Music Fest or whatever in Memphis, her and her friend made fake "shrooms" as she called them and sold them to people and made 300$. She also decided to write "times up f****rs!" when she was done with her math test. She then proceeded to ask anyone if they wanted to go and smoke with her before our group met. Oh yeah and we were talking about roommates and i said something about only have 1 girl and she said something like that too and she was like hey let me get your # later and if i dont have anyone, i'll call you and i was like hell no. Man I can already see how different it is from Boyd, which I knew and expected. Every girl was scantily clad and I heard words flying everywhere.
Umm...we were all together like every hour or so and then would break up into our groups and get some stuff. We had all this crap to carry around all day. That sucked. Oh and there were only 2 places open to eat lunch, pizzeria and the grill works which was all hamburgers. All u got with the coupon voucher was 1 pizza slice or 1 hamburger. I got the hamburger. Well on my way to get ketchup, there was a girl in front of me and she said something and i was like u can sit with me if u want lol and she was like okay. Her name is Jessica and shes from Murfeesboro and her dad just got transfered here, so she decided to live with them and go to utc. She lives in soddy. I was like haha boon town lol. Shes really nice too. I was like too bad your not staying on campus, u could live with me. I felt bad for her though cause she was like I just moved away from all my friends and b/f and im in this town that i dont know anything about or have any friends. She was like can i call you sometime and go do something? I was like well sure sweetie lol. She said she didnt wanna be with her parents all the time and i was like i know how u feel. She was in my regular group but we got broken up into majors so she had to leave. So the Human Ecology group went to the education department. Human Ecology is like nursing and interior design too. We went into these rooms with some teachers and they helped us pick our classes. I think thats one of the hardest things ive ever done.
They gave us this MASSIVE list of every class that was available at the time and the teacher and times and days and hours and all. And since I think i wanna be an education major, they give u a list of things to take for the major. I found out i dont need a foreign language at all or a PE. Well PE isnt required anymore for Gen Ed. So those were 2 classes gone. So after i finally got it straight I ended up with 16 hours.
Biology 121 - principles of biology - MWF 9-9:50
Lab with that class - T at 10:50-12:40
English 121 - Rhetoric and Comp. - MWF 8-8:50

Poli Sci 101 - American Gov. - TT 8-9:15
Then after that I was done and met my parents and we went and looked at my apartment building. They were impressed lol.
Oh yeah! Awesome news! On the Math Placement Test, u have to make a 20,30 or 40 and that means u dont have to take the classes that dont count. Well if u make a 5 or 15 u have to take 1 or 2 of those classes that dont count. I made a 20. Thank you very much i almost peed on myself when I saw that. I was counting on being in those classes anyway. I got by by a hair lol. Go me. Well thats about all for today. So glad its over.
BACKSTREET BOY TICKETS TOMORROW! YEAH!
