Hello, again! My name is Kyle, and I would like to welcome you to blog number 2. Life continues to move forward here in Spearfish, which I generally agree with. The sun shines, most days, so my morning runs are getting better, which I am sure my ROTC instructors will appreciate. Most of the motorcycles seem to have gone back to their garages to hibernate until the next Sturgis Rally comes along. I am going to miss the concerts, but I am thankful for the reduction in traffic.
As far as school is concerned… is anybody else thinking that the fall sort of snuck up on us like Chuck Norris? School starts in 2 weeks! We have a bunch of you folks registering for your classes on Friday at our New Student Registration Day. That should be pretty fun. You get to sit down with an advisor and sign up for all your classes for the semester. You get your Buzz Card(student ID), and we have an Information Fair so you can talk to faculty, staff, coaches and organizations on campus that you might be interested in being involved with. It is the last major thing to do before you show up for classes in a few weeks. New Freshmen are starting at 8AM while the transfer students get to sleep in a bit and start at 1PM. If you are an accepted student to BHSU and have not registered, you can sign-up for NSR at www.BHSU.edu/NSR. It should be pretty fun, and you get to meet me, free of charge.
Like I said, after you register on Friday, the last major activity will be to show up on the 29th and move into your Residence Hall room. That is a pretty fun experience. You move in from 8-12PM and we have a ton of friendly staff hanging around to help you get your stuff from the back of your car to your room. (Now you don’t have to con your brothers into helping by offering them your room at home.) Some good things to bring would be a refrigerator for drinks and snacks. I would recommend a microwave for those days you didn’t have a chance to get to the Hive, our dining area. All the residence halls have a really nice big screen LCD TV in their main lobby, but bring a TV if you want. Your room has cable, so if someone is using the lobby TV you won’t have to miss your shows. Beyond those couple items, I would just tell you to bring stuff that will make your room feel like home.
Some other things to take into consideration would be some things you can’t bring. We do not allow anything with an open flame or an open heating coil in the residence hall rooms. So candles, toasters, George Forman grills, and the like are not allowed. Another item that isn’t allowed are extension cords. They are considered fire hazards. Now that being said, you can have power strips with longer cords, so I wouldn’t worry too much. If you have specific questions on exactly what you can and cannot bring, you can take a look at the New Student Handbook.
Well, that’s all for now. For those of you who are registering on Friday, I’ll be seeing you there. For those of you who are attending classes this fall and have not yet registered, the race is on! Two weeks till Go-time! So call the Office of Admissions today at 605-642-6343 to register for NSR or General Registration.
