It All Finally Feels Real
I decided to start my Blog today. I had been reading my future fellow classmates' blogs, Nivea and Erin, but I was procrastinating. None of it seemed real yet. Sure I had the acceptance letter and I was able to get my student ID number and email, but it was still all just on paper. Yesterday, I went to the open house for accepted applicants. I was so excited and nervous the night before that I barely slept. I made it to Richmond with vary little problem. I drove right to the parking garage and walked the 3 or 4 blocks to Theater Row. When I walked into the room, I was surprised to see that I was not the oldest student. I guess this was one of my biggest anxieties. We go to know each other, had a great lunch, were introduced to the faculty, and given tours of both MCV and the occupational therapy department. Then we got to have a question and answer session with current students. That was probably the best part of the day. We got to get some "real" information about the program. We got to ask questions about finances, housing, books, and curriculum. It was a great day. I got to meet some really great people and it all actually seems real now. I cant wait for classes to get started. It sounds like it is going to a very intense program, but a lot of fun too.

:) I think the nerves got to everyone and we all did something embarrassing at some point during the open house. It was great to meet you, and I am glad you started a blog. I don't think anyone really reads mine, but I sort of use it as a diary. I am so excited to start classes, I am having a hard time finishing the ones I have this semester. I look forward to seeing you again in June!!
Oh and if you need any help with anything don't hesitate to ask myself or Nivea. If you need help with financial aid or anything at all just ask.
Yay you started your blog. Im glad we met because you were definately one person that I enjoyed meeting at the open house! Your friend you brought along was very sweet as well. We are all excited to begin! We're definately gonna have to do some group studying together in the future! :-)
