You've been advised to arrive early, but even so the lines seem endless.This too, soonpasses,though,and your schedule's entered into the compu- ter. Now you're all ready to begin classes - hopefully. Now to put a dent - several dents in the checking account. Time to buy books, get a phone and rent a refrigerator. Oh, no more lines. Carefully checking your gray sheet you take a deep breath and head for the bookstore to buy books, all brand new. Now for the purchases that make dorm life more bearable.Afterwaiting patiently for an hour and a half, you're the proud owner of an Arkadelphia phone number and can move on to rent a refrigerator. Two more dents in the checkbook. Moan- The last step in the registration process is to pay fees, the part that hurts the most. ing the life ofa college student you remind yourself, The first week's the hardest.If I canjust make it through this week, I can make it through anything. Tuesday. Moving in, registration and buying the essentials are finally over. Classes stan tomorrow, but today is free - free to get together with friends, find your way around campus or head to the lake to escape the heat. Vacations ended but the summer's heatwave didn't. Wednesday. The first day of classes. The mad rush and scramble to find the right room and be on time. Not to mention the embarrassment of walking in and calmly sitting down, only to find out you're in the wrong place! But it's all a part of the first week fun and you re- mind yourself that Friday will come. But first comes tomorrow and more new classes,rooms,teachers,faces. . . Wil1 it ever settle into a routine? Friday at last. I think I've almost made it. I found my classes and I re- member the teachers' names. The first week of hectic rushing to and fro, of trying to fit in, of finally getting settled in. Only one closed classg I only got lost once, the computer didn't register me for two classes, Caddo isn't Mom's cooking but I won't starve. Friends and new faces - all a part of my Henderson world. Yes, somehow I'll fit in. The first week's the hardest, but it's over now and the semester begins. The first week's the hardest but, somehow I made it, somehow I made it.
