gateway orientation

so as we speak, i am sitting in the dulles conference room at the doubletree hotel in queens. i have decided that queens is terrifying, btw. my mom dropped me off yesterday and ive had orientation activities ever since. ive been rooming with this girl, sara, whos going to ghana on the community service program too. there are five americans going to ghana (4 girls, 1 boy) and the other three (beside me and sara) are going to be attending school. we're doing our orientation with the five americans who are going to portugal (3 girls, 2 boys, all attending school). everybody is really nice, which is great because we're going to be together for a while. the portugal students are going to be flying with us to london, where we'll split up after our layovers. then us ghana people have a four day orientation in a hostel in accra after we get there. our flight leaves jfk at 10:50 tonight, so i have a lot of time to kill. our flight doesnt get into ghana until tomorrow night, their time. more later, im going to go nap.
