week one

So here I am finally after all the work and time. This week has been going well, I got in Monday night after a pretty normal flight. I met two other people going to Tec too. On the flight I sat next to a Chinese lady going to Monterrey for business. She wanted help learning to pronounce a few things in Spanish and then I found out she went to K-State, coming there straight from China. One getting through customs I met some more international students. After getting to the school I my host family came to pick me up. They are both very nice and are always trying to over feed us. Two of my roommates were already there. One is from Australia, the other goes to UC Davis. Tuesday was filled with orientations such as of the school, library, and computer lab (which looks like a giant napkin holder.) Lastly I got my schedule and it is a pretty good one, I even have a class with one of my roommates. Wednesday I didn't have anything all day so I finished unpacking and then went out that night with some people I had met the day before. Yesterday was information about the policies and procedures here along with saftey tips. Today we had an immigration meeting and later today there is an extraciricular activities and trip presentation, then a welcome cocktail. Here is a link to pictures. .

All is going great meeting new people. I am missing home and being able to easily talk with family and friends, but I forsee as I get more used to here and involved in classes it will get better. Hope everyone is doing good and I will post later. Also I have internet at my host family's home so I will be checking that very often.
