My first week at Iowa... many lessons learned.

I had a whirlwind week at Iowa. After I finally figued out the bus routes, I was able to find all of my classes without any problems. My classes are all really close together. I guess that was a misconception that I had about the U of I. I thought that I would be walking MILES inbetween classes and that's not so. It's not as close as all of Kirkwood's classes were, but for a big university, it's not bad at all! Just make a note to buy a good pair of tennies when you transfer! :)

I had some trouble the first week with my schedule. I was sent about three different places to get help and it seemed like no one wanted to help. I learned this week that if you don't look out for yourself at a big school like Iowa, you WILL slip through the cracks. Don't let it happen. If you need help, persist because that's the only way you will be able to get out in a decent ammount of time. I did get really frustrated because at Kirkwood I could just go to advising and here it seems like there are about a million places you have to go.

BUT aside from all of the craziness... there was a football game this weekend! My first time in the student section and it was awesome! Make sure you buy season tickets at least one year at Iowa, because Iowa fans are like none-other!

Okay, enough ranting... here are some pics!
