Oriented

 Robby had a fabulous time at his orientation. Although he was nervous, his excitement was palpable. Slightly introverted, he forced himself to harness "personable Robby" before entering the auditorium for the event. He was personable and outgoing, engaging conversations with the professors and his fellow incoming freshman.  He masked his fear with a smile and took on the challenge. 

While Robby was off choosing classes and working through his itinerary I sat through another "letting go" session before ditching the optional campus tour in lieu of meeting with Financial Aid. I was the first in line and my meeting was done in about 30 minutes. When it was complete and I was heading out the door, the line to enter was already snaking down the hall.  

With the help of his advisor, Robby has both changed his major and chosen his classes. He was originally signed up for Historical Preservation. He learned that historical preservation would train him to work with architects to save and restore historical houses. Instead, he is interested in working in a museum so his major was switched to Historical Preservation Public Education. Instead of restoring the house, Robby is interested in teaching people about what happened inside it and why it is important.
