Itinerary

I'm goin to Cal for the first time in the coming week. It's a one-day orientation with lots of information, and it will be hectic for sure. We are gonna have to drive up the golden state freeway early in the morning, it will take at least 6 hours, gulp, and hopefully arrive there in the early afternoon so that we could still have some time to look around, get familiar with the community, and maybe do some shopping, I really want to get those Berkeley Mom/Dad T-shirts and car stickers for my parents! The check in time of the orientation is 7:30am the next day. We will spend most of the day talking with advisors, learning how to use the Telebear (online system), and enrolling our first 10.5 units at Cal. Afternoon will be easier, we will have some current Cal students talk about their experiences. Orientation will wrap up probably around 6pm, then we have to drive down the 101 about 3 hours to get to our hotel, which is just across the street from the moonstone beach. It will be exhausting, but I'm glad I get to spend the night right next to the pacific ocean. Next morning, we will take an early stroll around the beach before heading home down the 101. I heard the scenery along the coast is breathtaking, really looking forward to it. lots lots of pictures will be taken!
