Friday and Saturday were/have been great. Friday we hung out with other Breakthrough people in our dorm - we all live in the same hall, so it's our little dorm to ourselves. We explored a nearby shopping mall, and experienced our first major storm, which we weathered (shivering and wet) in a Wendy's. We attended the Orientation dinner, which turned out to be catered Chickfila and a Q&A (rhymes!). Today, we had Thai for brunch and went to the pool for the afternoon, and I have my frist TAN now! (Bye bye Boston colors!) Tonight, a group of us are gathering at the apartment of one of our fellow Teachers (she has a kitchen) and we're all making and sharing a dinner o bread, salad, and pasta.
By the way, we do not have internet in UMiami yet since our program wasn't yet approved by the IT folks; it should be resolved on Mon or Tuesday. I'm using the laptop of the girl who is hosting us for dinner. Otherwise, the people here are great - a very diverse group of Teachers. All's well (so long as my 'tan' does not turn into 'burn') .
