Computer Survey, 1st year Guide and Budget Increase

This week I got some more information from Pacific. They sent all incoming students some information about computer orientation on June 9, as well as, a survey about our computer hacking skills. Apparently, on June 9, depending on our skills, we will be assigned to an advanced, normal, or beginner group. While the orientation lasts from 9am to 4pm, each skill group will only last a few hours (so I won't actually be there all day on Saturday).

The letter also had a list of FAQs. One of the questions often asked is where the 1st year students computer lab is located. The answer is the pre-clinic laboratory. Looks like we will spend a lot of our lives in the sim lab.

I also recieved the 1st Year's Guide in the mail. The class of 2007 put it together. It gives us the inside scoop on what to expect, what to wear, what to bring to school, who our advisors are, and some other tidbits. Overall, I thought it was useful.

Annie and I applied to have our budget increased. If you have children, Marco (on a case-by-case basis) will review your situation and determine whether a very small budget increase is appropriate. We hope we are approved so it'll make meeting our month-to-month expenses a little easier.

I'm still going to use the blog to post news, but I'm also going to make more posts of this nature. Stay tuned!
