Yesterday was pretty low key, and that is exactly what I needed after so many busy days. At noon I had a meeting for all of the visiting engineering students. The information was a bit redundant after IFSA-Butler's orientation, but I guess that's a good thing. During the meeting I met a few people, drank a bunch of tea, and asked a few questions of the presenters. This afternoon I have my meeting with my Personal Tutor (a.k.a. academic advisor) to finalize my class schedule. Exciting!
After the meeting I met some friends for lunch. During that time it started to really rain! Since I've been here it has maybe drizzled every day for 5 minutes here or there. But yesterday it actually rained. So my friend Ben suggested we take the public bus! Great idea. The system is easy and while not cheap, it's worth it in the rain. Because of the dreary day we headed back to the dorms to lounge and watch TV. What a luxury! Last night was laid back: playing cards, eating chocolate, and early bedtime. My idea of a good time.
This morning I woke up and when I opened my windows the sky was BLUE!!! NOT GRAY!!! It was a lovely sight to behold.
My room is really growing on me, I'm meeting a bunch of truly great people, and even though my new cell phone is not the most high-tech, it is always fun to have a new toy. Pictures of all these things below!
Once classes start I wonder how this blog will be...neglected? frantic and stressed? happy and carefree? Guess you'll just have to keep checking :)
