Hinata yawned as she made her way to her mailbox early in the morning. She was up rather late last night chatting with Ino and Sakura. The other boys left about an hour after Sasuke did as the topic of conversation went from hair, to make up to clothes and back to hair again. Well Shikamaru didn't leave as he was fast asleep and only left when Ino kicked him out as she and Hinata got ready to get a few hours of sleep. She was tired, but she couldn't rememebr when she had had so much fun. Her late night talks with Hanabi were never so entertaining, mostly Hanabi grumbling about their father's strict rules. Opening her mailbox she found her appointment card with her advisor. Hinata breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing she woke up early as her appointment was in half an hour.
Making her way to her advisor's office Hinata noticed another person sitting in the hallway. Walking closer she saw he was waiting by Kurenai's door, which was open. He seemed to ignore Hinata as he just stared at the wall infront of him. Or so Hinata though, it was rather hard to tell where he was looking with his sunglasses on. "Why do I have to take that stupid class!" a male voice yelled from inside the office causing Hinata to jump. "Because Kiba, you want to be a veternarian. Or so you claim. So that means you HAVE to take Biology." a calm female voice replied. "But I don't want to be a biologist! Why the hell do I have to take that dumb class!" Kurenai groaned, it was much to early in the morning to deal with such a loud person. Note to self, schedule all future appointments with Kiba for the afternoon. "Kiba, calm down" The guy with the sunglasses said as he stood up. "You're holding up her other appointments. And just because you don't want to take a class doesn't mean its not required for your major."
Kiba growled at the other male. "Whatever Shino. Fine I'll take the stupid class...but you're helping me study for it Shino!" Shino didn't respond to that as he walked down the hall. "Damn it Shino! Don't walk away from me!" Kiba yelled as he ran off after the other down the hall.
"Its the beginning of the year and I already need a vacation" The woman inside muttered. "So who's next? Just come in, close the door or leave it open, whichever you prefer." Hinata entered and closed the door behind her. "So you're Hinata Hyuaga right?" The woman behind the desk asked. "I'll be your counselor and advisor for your undergraduate years here. My name is Kurenai. And please just call me Kurenai. I like to keep it alittle informal." Kurenai said with a smile. Hinata felt at ease. Her advisor seemed nice.
"So then, what do you want to study?" Kurenai asked Hinata.
"Oh, um n-nursing and I w-want to minor in business."
"Are you sure Hinata? The nursing program is very difficult and time consuming and the business minor is alot of work as well."
"Yes, I-I'm sure."
"Well you can start it, and if the minor seems to be too much you have till your sophmore year to drop it. So let's see, based on your exam scores and transcript you will need to take Biology and Psychology to start you nursing program. Biology counts for double credits as you have the lecture class as well and the labs for it. You have to take at least one course for business to start your minor, and all freshmen must take a writing course. I suggest Speech Writing and Public Speaking since it counts as a business course as well as your writing course. And that leaves you with one elective. What would you like to take besides your required classes?" Kurenai asked as she handed Hinata a list of classes she could take.
Hinata looked over the list and there were so many options! Some though seemed a bit silly though and she was shocked there were actually clases for things like bowling and snowmobiling. Though what caught her eye alot was Martial Arts. Her cousin Neji had always said she sould take some form of Martial Arts to boost her confidence as well as give herself some protection.
Smiling she looked at Kurenai and said, "I want to take Martial Arts as well."
Kurenai looked surprised. Blinking she looked Hinata over and smiled. "Good choice. Its important to know how to protect yourself and its a great way to relieve stress. Okay then. Here's your schedule. You'll have Biology lecture with Prof. Orochimaru Mondays and Wednesdays at 11am, Psychology lecture Mondays and Wednesdays with Prof. Ibiki at 1pm and Your Biology Lab at 4pm Mondays and Wednesdays with T.A. Kabuto. Your Writing class will be Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1pm with Prof. Jiraya and your Martial Arts Class will be Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3pm with Prof. Kakashi." Kurenai handed Hinata a printout of her schedule as she further said, "Good thing you have Martial Arts after your class with Jiraya. He always makes his student want to hit things out of frustration."
Hinata wasn't sure if Kurenai was joking or not but she decided to just smile at that comment.
"Well that should do it. Even though tomorrow is Sunday the bookstore will be open since classes start Monday. So you have the rest of today and tomorrow to get more accustomed to the campus." Kurenai said.
Hinata smiled and thanked her advisor as she decided to head to the book store to get her needed supplies.
