Yesterday I awoke to the sound of my last roommate moving in. She is from Philly and we ended up spending quite a bit of the day together. It was fun getting to know her a little. We wandered all around campus getting stuff figured out. In the process we got our buss passes, found the campus movie theater, found the library and did a little grocery shopping so I know have food and tea. It was a good way to start getting to know the campus.
The afternoon brought the first orientation event. There was the typical welcoming introductions and we were also taught a couple phrases in Irish, which is on of the official languages here. We were also given free bags and scarves. It was nothing to exciting but nice nonetheless. Afterwards there was a reception in the Global Lounge. There was free food and a drink for each person. They were serving beer and wine, along with soft drinks and water. Guess which choice all the Americans, especially the ones under 21, were making? Yes, I also had alcohol, white wine more specifically. (What? I'm legal here). Afterwards, my female roommates and I chatted for awhile longer getting to know each other. At around midnight here, I skyped my roommate back home. We're over 4,000 miles apart and managed to wear the same shirt, which I find endlessly funny.
