Haha's Third Post

I think my legs are broken now.

There is so much walking to do around campus. This morning, at international orientation, I met students from all over: Korea, China, Serbia, Argentine, New Zealand. They were all really interesting. When they found out I was from Kuwait, everyone was @@ and asked a whole lot of questions, most of them asked if it were true that the gulf region were all rich. I gave my standard answer: every society has multiple socio-economic classes, but it so happens that you will have to re-evaluate the meaning of "low-income" in a ?Kuwaiti society. After the orientation was over, they made small groups out of us, I was GROUP #9, two people were in charge of us: one American, and one Chinese. We all took turns talking about ourselves, and then took the longest tour in the world around the university.

 

At 3 p.m., we were all frantically running to the nearest building, it was raining... Again. We were soaked. By the time we got to a dry place, we were laughing so hard some of us ran out of breath. That was fun, running in the rain like maniacs, just another thing I would have never done in Kuwait. I miss home.

Today a lot more people moved into the dorms, I haven’t moved in yet, I just put half of my things there. I am going back to the university tomorrow to take a test, take a blood test, and start moving the rest of my things back into the room. I really like my dorm, people are nice. Everything is so exciting here, there is a lot to do! The amount of on-campus events is ridiculous.
