My time in Boise went like this:
Leave London at 3pm London time, which was 7am Boise time, where I sat by a girl who was airsick the whole time, and she clearly knew she was going to be. You'd think that with all the modern technologies available to her, she wouldn't subject those surrounding her to sounds of her gagging up her vegetarian meal if she could help it.
Arrive in Boise at 11pm
Airport pickup, unpack... somewhat, and get to sleep at about 2:30am
Woke up, for no apparent reason at 5:30am where my mom and I began the daunting task of unpacking 6 months of studying abroad and three weeks of European adventure
Straighten hair in preparation for haircut
11am dentist cleaning appointment, no cavities yay!
Jacob's Birthday celebration/seeing family at 12pm at Star Cafe
Haircut
Booster immunization shots
Go home, begin packing
Shower, dinner and movie with Robby
Home to pack until 3am
Get up at 4am for a mad frenzy of packing
On plane at 6:15am Boise time, 8:15 New Hampshire time
Arrive in Boston at 5pm, arrive at Dartmouth at 10:00pm
I WAS EXHAUSTED!
My program consists of eight other students in addition to me, Amorette who is the coodinator that we love, and the professors that have dared to take us on. So far we have been wined and dined to the fullest. This includes free hotels, free dinners and breakfast, and SWEET swag like top of the line safety goggles.
I have a two room tripple. Already our room has been established as the hangout place. Already we, as a group, are going out to things together that weren't organized by the program. We got up this morning and half of us went running together, we've made random trip to Wal-Mart for those that forgot stuff. A few of us are going to a movie tonight. I think I found my new group of temporary friends!!
We have $400 for food, but after finding out a meal on campus is $8-13 we realized our meal card isn't going to go very far so we are figuring out how to cook or eat at cheaper places. Our room has already been established a hang-out place, which is convenient, and also hard to get a moment's silence because we don't really have anything else to do as of now.
