Orientation


Hello everyone for this week!  This past weekend was Orientation for the Inbounds 2012 and 2013.  We started with a tour of Ouro Preto, which is a very old and historic town of Brazil.  We got to go on tours of numerous churches, and museums.  While we were there, a pottery festival of sorts nearby that we went exploring in.  We got to go into a gold mine and eat some good food (like most Brazilian food.)  The place we were staying was like the typical Brazilian clube, a place for families to go and eat, do sports, and relax.  It was very similar to a country club type place.  We traded pins and took loads of photos in our blazers and with our flags.  My blazer is now mostly full on the front.  On the last day when we traveled around Belo, it started pouring rain while we were at a monument.  Yesterday I had my first strawberry juice, and to go along with it I had some strawberry tic tacs.  Neither of them were as good as I was expecting them to be.  I hope to try watermelon juice this week as well.  Today I went to the gym, and I ran/jogged for about an hour and a half.  Since the end of the school year is coming we have tests on Friday, next Wednesday, and the whole week after that.  I still haven’t gotten my grades back from the first tests I took about a week ago.  Hopefully by next time I’ll know some or all of them.
