Last night after I blogged, I decided to look through my orientation binder for the public health program. I found that there is a schedule printed out for the entire first semester. To my surprise, classes are starting tomorrow (Wednesday) - not September 25th like the rest of the university. I guess it's a good thing I got here early.
During orientation this morning, we were given our first homework assignment (due on Friday) and we were informed that there is a statistics test on Thursday. It's more of an assessment - but either way, I need study up a little on health statistics.
I'm slightly overwhelmed with school at the moment, probably because I'm also dealing with cultural adjustment and jet lag. I have had no time to open a bank account, get a bus pass, register with a doctor, or look into phone services; I still haven't even registered yet (so no student id). My room is a disaster and I haven't even unpacked the box of kitchen utensils/cookware that I ordered. I'm completely scatter-brained from all of the chaos around me right now. And all I want to do is watch a movie and sleep.
If I can manage to complete all of the previously mentioned tasks by Friday, then I'll be fine. That's my goal.
