The First Meeting

Hey everyone! Well, we had our first pre-dearture meeting yesterday. It was really cool to meet all of the people who are going and get to know them a little. There was a Mexican man who graduated from IUPUI that came and spoke about the country. He talked about everything from geography and population to songs and traditions. I thought that this was really good because his presentation helped to give everyone a better idea of what to expect from the experience. We also went over all of the rules for the trip and talked about roomates. I do want a roomate, but I have no idea who I am going to pick! well, we will see. We were also given a book, that we will be quizzed on prior to departure, a binder with all of the information that we will need for the duration of before and after the trip and finally, a cd that if full of songs in spanish. Yay!
