Today was the first day of orientation, and it was great. We broke out into small groups and went on a kind-of scavenger hunt through different neighborhoods in Boston. The point was for us to make friends with each other, and we did. After we got back we had group discussions about the neighborhoods we visited, then we all went over to a campus bar and hung out. Later I worked out, ate dinner, responded to some e-mails, and took care of more of this seemingly endless admin.
At the moment I'm trying to finish things, at which point I'll go to bed, and when I get up, I'll make a schedule, but mostly it'll be dominated by orientation activities.
