Ann Arbor Orientation

It is amazing to me that a group of once complete strangers from all over the U.S. can get along so well over the course of 4 days. I was pretty doubtful as to how the group dynamics would work in the beginning, due to the fact that it was so large. However, I am incredibly happy that we are pretty much all getting along.

The past couple of days have been marked by a strict regimen of eating (good) food, various bonding activities that involve purposely confusing card games, dinnertime documentaries of Chinese history and the effect of Maoism and Communism, and interesting discussions afterwards.

We’re leaving for China tomorrow. I am SO EXCITED!
