First Day

So today was my first day of my first rotation. It was the first day of freshman orientation so there were tons of students for breakfast and lunch. I was kind of confused in the beginning and finally got in touch with the head of my rotation. He was very nice and I think tomorrow everything will start to pick up. In the three weeks I am at Prairie View for food service there is a list of about 17 things I need to accomplish. The director told me that his rotation was one of the most difficult because I will have to present at a safety meeting and go looking for new equipment to use in the facility. There is also a day I have to go in extra early and help unload a food truck. All in all I think I am going to enjoy the 3 weeks there. The campus is really nice and the students have so much school spirit. I would say at least 70% were wearing something that had PVAMU written on it.

I'm working on staying up to date on here with everything that is going on. I can already tell I will be starting to get busier as the weeks progress. After the first introduction day in the rotation it seems like it picks up fast. You are only in a certain area for 3 weeks normally and have tons of tasks that have to be done before you leave. I know I am going to learn a lot already.

Progress

So today was the first day of orientation and it made me feel a million times better. I have a 3 inch binder filled to the max with everything I will need for 9 months. It has my schedule, as well as all of the assignments I will need to turn in. Now that it is all planned out I feel like it is going to go by so fast. I miss everyone back home and I think getting into the swing of things will help ease the home sickness. Mom will be here in October and Eric visits around Thanksgiving.
I am very excited to start the internship on Monday and luckily my roommate is in the same rotation as me for the first 3 weeks. All of the girls are very nice and I think we will get along well. We all seem to be on the same page and hopefully be able to help each other if needed. I am hoping to update here once a week with main events of what has happened and how awesome it is going. I know I will be busy with working 40 hour weeks with assignments on the side.
Houston itself is so amazing. The people are very nice and the food is so good. I am hoping to pick up that accent and start saying y'all and maybe get a cowboy hat and boots. We will see how far all of that goes.

I'm here!

I just moved in this weekend and it is an AMAZING apartment. Houston is beautiful and the people are very nice. The weekend was full of building furniture with the parents and Eric. Saturday night Eric and I went to a Houston Astros game versus the Milwaukee Brewers. I loved walking around and seeing the park. It was a lot of fun even though they lost.
I will put pictures up of the apartment as soon as it is decorated. We start the internship next week for orientation and then it really beings August 22. I am very excited to start everything and get a nice tan with all the nice sunny weather.
