Getting ready for orientation
We’re leaving for orientation today. Tonight we’re gonna go see a Hooks game, they’re the minor league baseball team in Corpus. And then tomorrow the apartment search begins. I’ve already looked through rent.com and other apartment listings and have been comparing them. We’re going to go see the ones that I think will be our best bet.
The actual orientation is going to be exciting, but boring, I’m sure. A lot of sitting around listening to people talk. It’s just like the first day of school, way back when. It was exciting because you’re starting something new, but all the teachers go over rules the first day. You hear “You can only go to the bathroom when you get permission!” seven different times.
We’re leaving Copper with one of my friends and I have to say, I’m gonna miss him. He’s like our kid. I don’t like leaving him for four days. I’m worried since he’s such a baby. He whines for everything and he’s such a mama’s boy. He even sleeps with us. I know it’s not ideal for a dog to be that spoiled, but since he’s a puppy, I’m allowing it. I don’t mind it though, even when he’s big. My dogs have always slept with me. And now we have a bigger bed so there’s more room.

Ahhh college
How exciting! I’ve heard a lot of people like orientation, but I’m not really aware what it is actually. Was it any fun?

Orientation? For school? And college, the person before me says… That’s a lot for me to take
I would be scared and intimidated… And leaving my dog behind, that would be so sad for me. I mean if I had a dog that’s actually MINE and I actually REALLY loved… 
I’m leaving for orientation myself tomorrow. And THAT’s not even college, and I’m already intimidated! If it was college….

Orientation is awfully boring but it’s interesting to get a glimpse of some of the people you are going school with.

Good luck with the apartment hunting. I hope you find a place big enough for you and the baby puppy lol. I am so anxious for my freshman orientation. I can’t believe I’m starting high school and I can feel that whole first day bathroom rule coming too!

I would be so excited to start college and be looking for an apartment. Good luck with it all, and who cares if your doggy is spoiled!

I remember my dog slept in bed with me up until the night she died. Dogs like sleeping with their owners. It makes the feel like more of the pack. =)

I can’t remember the orientation day quite well other than I attended a week prior and it was mostly about the uni/college as institution, payment, the schedule and a welcome from the authorities plus a live show, which I enjoyed…so it’s not really like school since you are on your own this time.
I hope your dog is well on these days you’re not going to be with him, I have a dog and I can’t imagine leaving him with someone else.

Good luck and enjoy it!
Enjoy the apartment searching too. That was my favourite part about moving to New Zealand for university - but that’s possibly because I enjoy looking at real estate. :p
Don’t worry about Cooper
He’ll be just fine, and I’m sure you’ll get to see him plenty!

Have fun at orientation! My college orientation was really fun. There’s no work, but you’re away from home, and away from your parents, so it’s like complete freedom. Of course, then school actually starts and there’s a ton of work.. but still fun!

I hope you’ve been able to find an apartment! It kinda sucks having to look for one, but it’s also kinda fun too, isn’t it?
I also hope orientation went well!
