Day 1- Arrival

August 29th, 2012

I have arrived. Besides for the plane being two hours late, having only 2 hours of sleep on the plane, the kid I was supposed to meet at the Airport left without me and my luggage being too heavy for only me to carry, I am unpacked and settled into my room.  Its a fairly big room! and it has so much natural light! I also have a balcony!...but its a fire escape so I probably can't go out on it unless its an emergency.  But still, that's pretty cool that I have a fake balcony.  I met some people already...One person was on my flight from Dulles to Amsterdam but she was sitting so far back from me i never got to say hi or anything. So I met her officially at the dorm we are all staying in.  I also me two other girls that go to Central College together so they are already friends with each other but they also seem nice.  And then the girl I will probably talk to the most is the one right next door to me, on account of she is right next door to me.  But all of them are very nice thus far.  Everybody here is nice, they are all very helpful and understanding to travelers.  I do have internet however it is connected with an Ethernet cable...good thing I brought one! The sucky thing is I brought 2 adapters but they are both wrong.  So, ill have to buy one of those and some other necessities.  We have a pancake dinner tonight to meet the rest of the group! I'm excited! Speaking of which I have to get ready for it. Miss you all!

P.S. The time difference is 6 hours...when its daylight savings for the U.S., it will be 7 because the Netherlands does not have daylight savings.
