During the summer, it seemed like this day would never come, but finally it’s here! I only had to take five trips to get my stuff in, and I’m on second floor so it wasn’t bad at all. I went around campus and found all of my classes. They are all really close. I actually found that if I go down a couple flights of stairs and then walk about 50 meters I am in the chemistry building. (The place where most of my classes are…Score!) I have already met a ton of new people. A bunch of the guys on my floor are pre-med like me, so we have been having a good time griping about our chemistry and calculus courses together.

My day was packed, I went all over campus, first I stopped at the library to check out the facilities. Then I headed over to the office of study abroad (OfSA). I know it is a little early, but I would really like to study abroad, and with a major like Biochemistry, I think planning ahead would be helpful. After they gave me a few options to check out and walked me through the program I went back to Burge. One of my friends stopped by and gave me a tour of Iowa City (Well…At least the downtown). There are a ton of interesting shops and restaurants, hopefully during my time here I will get to visit most of them. Once the tour was over I ran over to Currier, to do the mandatory check-in meeting. Of course, leave it to me to forget my card that we had to have… Luckily the people running the meeting were really nice and they just let me sign in on a sheet of paper. When the meeting finished up we moved on to meet some more friends in Daum, we ended up meeting their RA and he hung out with us for a while too.  Overall, I would say I definitely had a successful move in day, now lets see what day two brings.
