Spell Check

I use to rely solely on spell check to catch any typing mistakes I made, thus everything I typed was trademarked with a ton of stupid errors! Thanks to my Medical Transcription course, my proofreading skills are very much improved (which I thought would never happen!). 

The other day my English teacher gave me this little thing and I thought it was neat:

Eye halve a spelling checker

It came with my pea sea

It plainly marks four my revue

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea. 

Eye strike a key and type a word

And weight four it two say

Weather eye am wrong oar write

It shows me strait a weigh. 

As soon as a mist ache is maid

It nose be four two long

And eye king put t error rite

Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your pleased too no

Its letter perfect awl the weigh

My checker tolled me sew!

I don't think my spell-check-dependent errors were ever quite that bad!

Orientation

Today was new student orientation at Garrett College... something very different and very new for me! 

The President said this is probably the biggest freshman class Garrett has ever had. They're having to move classes to different rooms to accommodate larger numbers of students. There were a lot of kids down there; the gym was packed. 

But I think today was (hopefully) the hard part. I get to start classes tomorrow... which I'm hoping will be easier. 

I start with Speech and then go to biology in the afternoon. I'm probably anticipating biology most; I met my bio teacher this morning... a lot of people speak very highly of her. 

I am nervous about finding my way around this place though! I've lived a mile away from this place nearly half my life. I've watched the campus grow and renovate... but it seems so much bigger and, um, more "daunting" from inside!
