Short week

This week was a short week for us.

It is days before the fourth of July so we have a shorter week. Our week started Monday when we did orientation. Orientation is where the freshman come in and learn all there is to know about UGA and how to adapt to college life. We followed the orientation team on there long 7am-7pm day. We begun the day welcoming the freshman to UGA and helping sell coffee and donuts to the parents, after that we all went over to O-House to assemble pamphlets for the parents and students. We all divided up after that half of us going to snelling and half going to summit. At each location we welcomed the parents or students and gave them the daily menu.

The main goal of the orientation team is to inform students and parents about the meal plan and to get them to sign up for it as soon as possible. At UGA the meal plan is not required, students have a choice whether they will buy the 5 day unlimited access or the 7 day unlimited access. The meal plan in my opinion is a no brain er. I had a meal plan my freshman and sophomore year and it made my life, living on campus, so much easier. I think that for anyone with out a kitchen it is the most economical way to eat, people end up thinking its much More expensive because they are paying for all the food at once.

On Tuesday we did more orientation it is a two day event for the incoming freshmen so we followed the team around again on Tuesday.

Wednesday we did more orientation and worked on our projects. Unfortunately Mr. Floyd was sick this day, we were scheduled to shadow him.

We have a long weekend ahead of us!!!! I hope to find lots to do around town and enjoy America's Birthday!
