Orientation

9/24/2012 is orientation for DAVE School class of September 2013.

 I'm just going to stop for a second and explain the way that the class year works.  There are four blocks in one year. Each block is 3 months long and you must pass to move on to the next block.  Think of each block as a college year.  You finish one and move onto the next until the fourth year (block) where you graduate.  If all goes well and you passed everything then you should finish the school in 12 months.  So even though its one year I will see 3 classes ahead of me graduate.

There isn't much to say about orientation.  It was the usual "this isn't high school" and tour of the place (which consisted of a tour of the entrances to the parks from the back and the cafes).  It was actually a little different now that I remember in that the director was saying how much work there is this year and how much is covered in one day.  One day here is almost the equivalent to a week of normal school so you don't really wanna miss a day.  And actually you cant miss more then three or four a block I believe which makes sense because you would never be able to recover and keep up with the class.  The rest is just boring stuff so that that.
