Orientation at IUB

My department Wylie Hall. I will spend a lot of my time here from now on.

Sample Gate. It means you've got into IUB's territory.

It is amazing that I've already been at IUB for more than two weeks. During these two weeks, I was running around everywhere for my orientation, document checking, health insurance, English exam, department meeting, and etc. Life becomes busier and busier, which makes me realize that I am back to school again, not relaxing at home anymore. I will start my busy, stressful academic life from next Monday. It seems that I haven't mentally and physically prepared for the new semester. Well, life is like a box of chocolate, you'll never know what will happen next, that's why life is good, isn't it?

Midwestern world is so hot and humid recently, which kinda makes me miss northeastern's cool air. My campus is big and pretty, I guess the view during fall season will be more beautiful. Graduate coordinator already warned us of our busy life ahead, and he even told us that we may not have time to see the view at all. Oh, my God~Couple of my friends asked me why I decided to pursue Ph.D here, well, I really don't know. I guess somewhere in my heart, I still like academic busy life, although sometimes it is stressful. Well, we'll see how far I could go.
