Art Institute: Orientation 2

Today was an AWESOME DAY!!!!! I received my supply kit, official schedule, and UNIFORM!!! The whole process took 3 1/2 hours. My dad and I got there at 8:30 and left at 12 pm. I met new friends! A quick shout out to Carol- majoring in Baking and Pastry, Josue Merijo- majoring in 3D animation, and Derrick Foster and Ian- majoring in Bachelors Degree in Culinary Arts :) Here are the lovely pictures of all the materials that I'll be using at the Art Institute California-San Diego(AICSD)

First and foremost, I finally received my school ID whoo hoo!!! The picture was initially taken last June 5, 2010! So, it was really cool to finally receive my ID and wear it on school days !!! :) First day on MONDAY!
From the packet that I received, I also got an Art Institute Black Pen ( Essential for Culinary)
I also received a binder with organizer tabs :) its very helpful on keeping the materials and all the paper works in place.
Looooveee this Student Handbook!!! I was planning on buying one myself and next thing you know.... I received one!!! Whoo hoo!! Now I can finally set a schedule :)
Now, moving onto the Supply kit!!!!! :) It may seem heavy but its manageable to carry around. It has 17 pockets and a strap is also included for comfort :)
Just a zoomed in picture to show the school's name :) The Knives are made by Mercer.. I haven't tested it yet so no reviews for now :(
The staff handed out this sheet of paper containing all the materials included in the kit. I'm not familiar with all of the utensils but i managed by counting and matching the amount of kitchenware on the list and on the kit.
