I am sorry I have not posted for a while. I am sitting in the McDonald's down the street from my apartment because I currently have no internet, but I will soon. I have moved into the apartment and I really love it. The people are great. I am living with a Dutch boy, a group of English girls, an Austrian girl, and a French girl. They are all very nice and fun, so even though the apartment is lacking some, I came for 5 months to experience things with new people, and I feel that I am getting that from where I am living.
Last Sunday, all the exchange students went out for drinks. Then we walked to the harbor where they had these big screens up to watch the final of the world cup. The final was at 4 in the morning. By the time it was over, we were walking through town to go home when everyone was just getting to work. Even though I do not really like soccer, it was really fun since I was watching it with people from both the Netherlands and Spain. It was definitely an experience I won't forget, even though it was difficult trying to stay up 24 hours straight.
We had orientation the last 2 days. The weather was beautiful today, and after orientation, everyone took the bus to the opera house and walked around the bridge and through these beautiful gardens. It was really wonderful, and everyone is so fun to be around. Everyone gets along very well, despite all our different backgrounds. I love talking to everyone. I took so many pictures this afternoon. I will post them once I get my own internet. Tomorrow we are going to this island in the harbour where there is an art festival, so it should be interesting. I am going to try to get into this aboriginal class, so we will see how that goes. But anyways, I hope all is well in the US.
