I am still in the process of getting things in order for my month in Utah. Communication with my supervisor at the University of Utah has gotten a little better over the last week, which is a nice change. They have been extremely helpful and welcoming it has just been difficult to get in touch with them.
As many of you know, I was originally planning on living with a friend in a vacation home about thirty minutes outside of Salt Lake City. Over the last week there have been several hiccups and my living situation has greatly changed. As of this afternoon, I found out that I will be living in an on campus apartment with a current orientation leader from Utah. This has changed my travel plans also because now there is less need for me to have a vehicle since I will be on campus.
At first I was not happy with the changes in my living situation. But, after thinking on it for a while and looking at my options it could possibly work out better for me. I will now be on campus, which will keep me involved in the setting and somewhat, force me take advantage of the opportunities. I will also be able to learn more about the university, the students, and the culture.
I have also been trying to do some research through the University of Utah’s website about their recruiting methods and system. From what I have seen thus far it is going to be drastically different from the way we recruit at MSU. I am really looking forward to being exposed to a different mindset and ways of doing things. Over the next week I will continue to finalize my travel plans and living situation along with researching more about Utah.
