Well, so far so good. I ended up only having one roomate. Her name is Cathleen and she is from a small town about an hour from Lincoln, Nebraska. We have really hit it off and I think we will do just fine as roommates. We have a really interesting class of students. We are the first class ever to not have a Puerto Rican (although they tell us we may still have one coming) and we have three students from Canada, at least three from India, one from Pakistan, and one from Kuait. It is pretty crazy how well we have been getting along. So far we know about 30 kids from our class, they tell us there could be more coming, but we aren't so sure. Of the 30, we had 25 all get together, rent a bus and go to Isla Verde for the day. I think we are going to be a really close knit group which is going to be great because they don't grade on a curve here so we can all help each other out.
We have had a lot of time to kill because we had a two day orientation and a field trip to Old San Juan, but our classes don't start until the 11th, so we have just been getting to know each other. We have a really cool rooftop that overlooks a huge part of the island. The D and C dorms have connecting roofs, so we all meet out there at night, talk, laugh, listen to music and make fun of each other's dialects.
That sounds so awesome! Wait until Cathleen discovers what a neat freak you are, then we'll see how the roommate thing goes...lucky ducks, no grading curve!
