OK, so hanging out with exchange students (both people from other countries, and people that are going to other countries, lik myself) is really fun.

At our latest orientation, we had a ton of fun tasting foreign foods, playing with fire, hanging out, and climbing on ceilings. In the cabins we slept in, there were beams across the cieling that I was climbing upside down on, and it wa a great time.

So at the orientation, we met with a girl that had just returned from a year in India who said that she had a blast, but the culture was so dramatically different. apparently, if you hurt a peacock or a cow, you get the death sentence... I don't want to go there...

So, as most of you know, I'm going to spend next year in Chile, going to night clubs, partying every day, getting away with everything because I'm american, and speaking spanish. Actually, I don't think I'm going to go to many night clubs... but the partying thing, I might consider.

Anyway, the girls that was there from chile was conversing with me about her country, and we talked about the slang, the culture, the parties, and the fun times. Apparently, they have some really wierd ways of saying some things...

So while we were "camping" in our "luxury" 5 degree farenheit cabins, I spent the night conversing with the exchange students about various topics such as the weather, school, sunglasses, parties, cars, India, languages, meeting up sometime and going to the city, and reintegrating ourselves into our own cultures after our trips to our countries.

This was probably when I fell asleep. I was sitting on a bed with some of the other exchange students covered in about 5 sleeping bags (it was frickin cold), and I fell asleep sitting down. Because I was in the girls' cabin, if I had remained there until morning (8:00), I would be in extreme trouble, so a few of the girls woke me up (I think I was the last guy there) at about 4, and I immediately walked out the door and to my own bed (in the guys' cabin) where I fell asleep almost immediately.

The next morning, after about 3 hours of sitting in the sun listening to lectures about being an exchange student, everyone had gone back to being wide awake, and very crazy.
