    Don't be late to any classes and follow your own schedule. Some peoples schedule will be different than yours, so don't necessarily go where the guy next to you is going. When I was at orientation, it was kind of a cluster, so be ready. The first day is the worst day. After that it's not so bad.

    Good luck!

    I think the "cluster" mode is a test rather than confusion... to see if you can deal with the usual state of affairs on the road!

    - Be very truthful about everything.
    - You're gonna need shower clogs.
    - Be early everywhere... it's a test.
    - Absolutely don't have any alcohol in your system.
    - Did I mention you're gonna need shower clogs?

    Good luck!

    Well I've been solo since December and have not done much sitting. Most of the time I'm running right up against my 70. And if I'm not, like now, it's because I've just completed a needed restart.
