Feb. 7—First day of orientation
8 am, making some tea before orientation. I am not really all that sure what will go on at orientation. I am excited to meet people and hear what the school has to say. I’ll let you know. For now, it is croissants and nutella. Yum.
Just got back from the first day. It was a long one. We were at campus for a good 5 hours talking about orientation stuff. I got really excited when the activities and athletics director spoke. First off, I plan on trying to play on the varsity team here. Hope to make that. Second, the varisty teams (soccer, volleyball and basketball) will be traveling to Athens for a tournament, taking on international teams. He mentioned the likes of Lebanon, Bulgaria, Italy!!! ACT is supposively also hosting a tournament. Yes! I also got very excited about the field trips. They are going to be amazing. I am so excited for the attack on Mt. Olympus. It looks like a favorite.
After the short campus tour, a bus (luxury) took us to a shopping mall. Great ACT, take the Americans to a shopping mall. All I can think of was that they thought we needed a place to shop…which we did…IKEA hooked it up with everything we needed for the apartment. Other than that, it was a poor choice for orientation activities. We did go to a restaurant and got the royal treatment. 5 courses with water, coke, wine, coffee and dessert to top it off. They were all huge tables and conversation was great…really starting to get to know some people.
Orientation left us quite tired. It is 914 right now and the bus will pick us up again at 1030 for another HUGE meal, drink and greek dancing. Everyone can’t believe we will be eating again. We are all not use to the Greek dining cycle yet. I love it though. Non-stop food and company…quite nice.
Listening to Kenny Loggins-Celebrate Me Home. I listened to this song a lot at home before I left. Theo and aris introduced it to me and I am in love with it. I have come to realize that music is my weakness here. I have such a connection to so much songs…and all of those connections are tied to good home Wisconsin.. I miss all of you. Family…it will be a while, but I know you are all good for the long haul. Courtney…I look forward to march 30th each day. That is one thing I am good at…looking forward to things. Friends….in no time at all…I know you are there….Greece is amazing and I can’t wait to try and let you all know just what I am experiencing here. Ya sas!
