San Francisco Day 2

Today was the second day of orientation.
Ill give a quick recap of yesterday. I arrived at the U of SF at around 3 o'clock. I checked in and saw a ton of other pi kapps. After checking in, we all gathered around and did a few ice breakers followed by a pizza dinner. I met my roommate for orientation, Marshall. He's from U of Nevada- Reno, and has some pretty cool ideas related to philanthropy. And that was pretty much all.
Today was a pretty long day, but an easy one, i suppose.
I woke up at 5 am. We did a practice pack, and put all of our belongings and got our bikes out, just to be ready for sunday. Soon after, we had some cold breakfast.
The next 4 to 5 hours were absolute hell. I had to sit though all the paperwork, and safety rules and procedures. We had a some deli sandwiches for lunch, which I guess will be the norm for the next 2 months. After a long morning, the day winded down with a "friendship visit". A friendship visit is basically a volunteer effort where we go to a camp which works with people with disabilities and get acquainted with the faculty and the campers. During this friendship visit, I played some basketball with some of the campers. I also met Audi, who was an aspiring artist, and is fighting his condition of cp. The whole visit gave me some food for thought for the rest of the night.
