After mass, we had a quick breakfast in JC Willliams Center. Afterwards, we went back to the chapel. There we were greeted by the Franciscan faculty. Then we went to the various session for career planning, financial aid, and other logistics that need to be taken care of. During these sessions, I got my ID picture taken, meal plan taken care of (I got the Commuter Plus plan), parking permit taken care of, and even discussed with the theology department concerning academics. I will be a double major in Catechetics and Theology, with a Franciscan Studies minor. Plus I will spend fall 2010 in Austria. So I was advised to add Intro to Catachetics to my schedule, plus to take a class in the summer of 2010 (the name escapes me at the moment). So I should graduate in 3 years, which was my plan to begin with. I will be busy, that's for sure. But I'm happy. I just pray I can pay for this all. You know something, Rutgers was never this involved with my academics as Franciscan is. I don't feel like I'm just a number at Franciscan. That's how it was at Rutgers...there were so many people there that there was no way the faculty could remember who you were. I'm almost tempted to demand my money back from Rutgers, since they did me no good at all. All I can say is thank God that Franciscan has given me a chance to make a new start.
So in between the sessions, we had lunch. The lunch was meatless in respect to human life. I don't usually have meat on Fridays anyway. So the menu included pasta salad, tossed salad, personal pizza, and fish sandwiches. I had the fish, and it was delicious. My father enjoyed the food too. He walked all over the campus, up the hills and down the hills. We even went over to the Portacuna chapel and tomb of the unborn child. Some of those children would have been born in the late 1980s...they'd be in college by now. We really need to pray to end abortion.
Changing the subject, here are some photos from the day.
