The Intercultural orientation was basically a networking event, and the 1L's and 2L's I met were all cool. The 2L's said that shorts are fine for tomorrow.

What all is everyone bringing to the first day of orientation, bsides that brief? Laptop, notebook, etc.?

i was wondering the same. I'll prob just bring a notepad and pen. The kiefer brief isn't due until the 2nd day, if im not mistaken.

Has anyone's gradplus loan status change today? I'm still waiting for my loan to become certified. =*(

[blackeyeddog]

On the loans and such, don't check SFspace. The first action will be that the loans post to your student account on Access. Then, it's about 2 business days before your funds will be disbursed to the account you've set-up on SFspace.

SFspace is the secondary accounts information site. It's not updated as quickly as your Access account. In some cases, it will have entirely inaccurate information for days.

I understand that we don't need the brief until wednesday. Ugh briefing is so useless anyway.

Still haven't gotten my money but I keep getting these emails for completing entrance counselling even though I have...twice. Rather frusrating since I need to finish paying for books and such...

Here's the way I understand it for those of us in Section 1:

We don't need to bring anything tomorrow, 8/17, for the first day of orientation.
We need to bring the Kiefer brief on Wednesday, 8/18.
We need to buy the syllabus for Torts from Lone Star Shipping. It will contain information about our first reading assignment which needs to be done by Monday, 8/23.
We need to buy the LRWA packet from AlphaGraphics available Wednesday, 8/18 and bring it to the LRWA orientation on Friday, 8/20.
We need to complete the Summer diagnostic assignment for our first LRWA class on Tuesday, 8/24.
Forrester cancelled property for Friday, but she has assigned a reading assignment for Wednesday, 8/25.
Crespi has assigned contracts reading to be discussed Friday, 8/27.

No assignments as of yet for Bellin's Criminal Law or Martinez's Civil Procedure.

The same thing happened to me. I finally ended up going to SMU and giving the financial aid office a printout showing that I had completed the entrance counseling. Call or visit them in the morning.

Alright, so how are we TLS people going to identify ourselves as part of the super-awesome club?

Wear name badges with pictures of your avatar on them

[kalvano]

I don't think they would appreciate that. I have to do some creative cutting as it is for TLS.

LOL


i'd be down to meet up soon for drinks or whatever.

[Billy Batts]

I think I can pick out at least a couple of you based on Facebook pics.

well i definitely know who you are.

I'll be the black guy in shorts and a pastel polo. If everyone else is down, I suggest that we put a dot on the lower-right corner of our nametags.

That is an excellent suggestion. I'll be the white guy in jeans.
























I realize that might not be descriptive enough, so I will also have on a dark blue Underarmour polo.

As a psych undergrad, I would totally check all of you out first, then, if i thought you were cool people, I'd add the dot to my tag. Anyone else think that same thing?

If I didn't want to hang out with someone, I simply wouldn't. But I enjoy meeting people I already "know".

Your right or my right?
