<p>Why is it that they only have this on weekdays....I have school....</p>
<p>Go on the 19th. It's on a Saturday, and it's different than the other dates.</p>
<p>It's a fair, and you'll get to see your academic department and check out some of the campus clubs..</p>
<p>So you can get a good feel for the campus when all of us are actually in class and on campus. You're a senior anyway, it's not like missing class matters at this point.</p>
<p>actually I'm in AP classes and all my teachers are cramming ***** in test after test...i guess i really only need a C but i still hate doing bad.</p>
<p>that makes sense tho.</p>
<p>It's true---AP exams are coming up real quick.</p>
<p>But anyway, don't you have spring break? Or did it already pass for you?</p>
<p>ya just had it last week...looking like a long road till the finish now...</p>
<p>Wow. My teachers aren't doing anything to prep me. I don't think they care.</p>
<p>haha sometimes i wish my teachers were like that but if i were you i'd prob. be complaining about that too.</p>
<p>My spring break is when a lot of the Explore UCI dates are so that's cool.
I'm going on the 9th!
But I can't make it on the 19th sadly.
Is anyone doing SOP?</p>
<p>If that's the summer orientation thing, I think it's mandatory...</p>
<p>No, the thing I can't make is the April 19th, the celebrate UCI festival thing.
SOP is the stay over program where you can stay over at a students dorm for a night or so and just follow them around to their classes and stuff. Or that's what I hear.</p>
<p>SPOP is the summer orientation that I think is mandatory</p>
<p>Oh. Haha. All the abbreviations get confusing lol. The SPOP is mandatory for sure then.</p>
<p>Hmm, do you have to be invited to go to SOP and do you have to pay? 0:)</p>
<p>You are required to go to some form of SPOP. There are two options: a mini-spop one day orientation where you basically pick your classes and go to a workshop or a two night option which was a lot of fun. If you go to the one where you spend the night you live in a hall in Mesa Court (eat at Commons, get to know some people before school starts, register for classes, etc) and it's a lot of fun. I think both cost money but I'd recommend doing the longer one as most people who went to the mini-spop thought it was stupid.</p>
