Getting off of the plane and searching for my luggage in a place I have never been was very scary for me. Walking through the airport was even scarier because there were so many people walking past me. Also, having to wait for about 30 minutes to receive my luggage was long and boring. When we walked out the doors of the airport, hot and humid air slapped me in the face and it was and is still hard to adjust to the weather. Finally arriving at George Washington University, five Californians-- Kelly, Alexandra, Raul, Leslie, and I-- were waiting in the lobby exploring the college to find out that everyone in the Pre-College Program was gone and already eating at the barbecue.
Then we were expected to speak to a whole bunch of new people that I don’t even know, and it was extremely awkward for me because I am not one to speak to new people. After, walking to my room for the first time, it was great because it was clean, I got my own room and then walking into the restroom I find the toilet paper holder broken and a whole in the wall, which was quite interesting. Such an interesting first day filled with meeting new people and finishing the first day of the college life.
