The beginning of it all

I started my orientation in Akron today. I managed to pack all my stuff, though I will have some eliminating and organizing to do. The MCC village is a beautiful place full of colorful buildings. My room in the Middle Eastern/European building is awesome - better than most hotels, and I don't have a roommate. I'm meeting lots of interesting people. Some are the stereotypical Mennonite, but not all. We are all playing the Mennonite game like crazy and finding lots of connections. My former camp counselor is here as well as a girl from Waynesboro, as well as a couple who are going to Long Xuyen, as well as a friend of a friend. It's been a fun orientation so far.
