Most of my posts will be about NYC and not CBS. However, I wanted to make at least one reflecting on my week of Orientation.
CBS Orientation was unlike any other experience I have ever had. You take 747 students from countries all over the world and put them into groups of 65 or so. Then you make them chant, cheer, dance, study, talk, work, and play with each other.
Our schedule was packed full from 8am to 10pm or later every day with a mix of academic and social activities. The main objective was for us to meet everyone in our cluster, the group of 65 or so that we will be taking all of our cores classes with. I managed to meet 40 or so over the course of five days of activities.
Here is a good example of what Orientation was like.
The people in the video were late to class. Don't be late.
Next week will be much less fun. I will miss free lunch and dinner every day with free outings afterwards. This week had an event every night with other students. It's much easier to meet new people when everyone else is new to the city (or country) as well.
One thing I won't miss is the lack of sleep. I haven't been so sleep deprived due to my schedule since early 2011 when I pulled all-nighters at work.
