Orientation IU Bloomington

I feel like I have been in a whirlwind this past week.  Camping from Friday to Monday and we turned around to go to orientation at IU Bloomington on Tuesday after lunch with Tyler.  INFORMATION OVERLOAD.  He took a calculus test on Tues evening to try and test out of a class at 6:30pm and we were set for day one on Wednesday at 8:30 am.  The kids went one way, the parents another and we met up for dinner.  Ben and I actually skipped out on a couple of the sessions since we had an understanding on some of the material they would cover anyways (we had been over it with Trenton) so we did some campus touring on our own and did some shopping for IU gear. 

Before skipping out though, we did shake Mr. Herman B. Wells hand - the story goes that your child will have good academic performance if you shake his hand.  I was sure to do so. 

We were also able to check out Tyler's dormitory building he got assigned to (forest).  Glad to find out he has air conditioning.  It was certainly hot these past couple of days.  Hoping he is not assigned to the top of the dorms (for moving in purposes...)

 

After meeting up with Tyler for dinner we went and checked out the stadium and Assembly Hall, both of which Tyler is extremely excited to be part of with the student crowd during games. 

This morning Tyler did his scheduling.  He was excited to find out he has 9 credit hours already from taking ACP classes in high school.  This is a definite plus considering he will need 26 credits to apply to Kelley next year.  His courses are as follows for the fall semester:
Monday and Wednesdays
11:15-12:30 Survey of Hip Hop (web based)
1:25-2:15 Volleyball
2:30-3:45 Writing the World (lecture)
4:40-5:30 The Computer in Business (discussion)
Tuesdays and Thursdays
9:30-10:45 Read-Learn Techniques
12:20-1:10 Basic Accounting Skills
Thursdays only
3:35-4:25 The Computer in Business (lecture)
No Friday classes
We got Tyler's books on order and headed out by 1pm today.  Walked away with lots of freebies and plenty of IU gear to sport.  Most importantly, we walked away knowing Tyler is excited about the coming school year. We are anxious to spend time there with the rest of our family as well...to share in this experience, just like we do with Trenton at North Central.  Tyler is ready.  He is officially an Indiana Hoosier.
