One Day Down
Well, my first day of orientation is over. It went well. Compared to how nervous/ anxious I was this morning I was very calm all day. My roomate arrived right before 1pm - her parents drove her from West Virginia. At registration we found out there are 62 of us. The activities and presentations today about what to expect, how to integrate, and saftey reminded me a lot of some of the SIT activities: working in small groups and coming up with something on flip chart paper then presenting it to the rest of the group. I even had to explain what it means to be a Master's International Student at one point - since I'm the only one. At the end of the day we recieved debit cards and for our expenses for these two days. I walked to dinner with my roomate and another set of roomates. So it's 10pm now...I'm going to sleep. Goodnight : )
