orientation

so we had orientation today. it was nice to meet the people who i'm going to be hanging out with (hopefully) for the months to come. they are all really nice and super artsy looking. plus the two guys from france are really really really good looking. haha. we got an introduction to the school and how the semester is going to run. it appears that we can't really deviate beyond our department because the classes are prioritized for the department students. but i'm going to try anyway. we have a mandatory culture/history class, which will be taught by a professor from germany. we'll be going on trips around the city, learning about the culture and what not. sounds cool. it turns out we have a three week break for pesach: april 8-april 29. how awesome is that? classes will begin monday and i'm really excited. woo.

gosh, i've spent quite a lot since i've gotten here. ahhh! anyways, that's all i have to say for now. will probably update later! i think we're going to hang out tonight. i hope so!

edit 8:39 pm - i just got back from rock climbing for the first time ever with joseph and kimmy. it was really fun and exhilarating BUT SCARY. my body was on overdrive with adrenaline because i didn't want to lean back and clung to the wall for dear life. maybe i have some height issues. whatever. now my hands are stiff and my arms feel like they're about to fall off. i really liked it so i might make it a regular thing? but that means buying shoes and a harness.... booo

edit 1:21 am - my friends, joseph and kimmy, and i went out on the town... which means to city centre. joseph brought along his friend, harris and kimmy brought her friend, jenny. we went in search of a bar, was turned down because we weren't twenty-two or twenty-three. we finally found this place called blue hole. it's a pretty decent bar... with random music that keeps you guessing. i had a sex on the beach. please don't judge. the server was right there and i wanted a long island iced tea but she said no.. we also got free shots on the house of penguin, which is their house shot specialty. it was being able to go out and have fun.
