First Day Orientations

My flight to Germany leaves at 6pm tonight! I have already flown to Newark and have been waiting in a hotel to leave for Germany. My program did some orientations yesterday, but today we are mostly just hanging out and getting to know everyone. 

This is the closest I have ever been to New York, but the only reason I have to leave the hotel is to go to the airport. I guess I'll have to take another trip to see New York. But my hotel has a view of the skyline from the top floor! 

When we arrive in Germany, we'll get on charter buses and travel to Hadersleben, where we will be for the next three weeks for a language camp. The camp is at a restored monastery. There will be pictures to come. On Tuesday morning they will assign us groups based on our language skills and we will be doing six hours of German a day for the next three weeks. There are also a few excursions planned, which should be exciting! 

I'll try and post again in the next week, but I can't make any promises because of the unknown wifi availability.
