What a day!!!

well today it all began. We arrived at 8:30 at the Sherman Center and had the opening ceremonies which were so moving- Truely awe inspiring. with flags from each country represented in nthe cast being flown. it was a LOT of flags. then we spent the day listening to speakers. we learned about what wee will be doing, all about American culture (we do this for each country we visit) and played ice breaker games. Tomorrow starts the work. rehersals, figuring out who does what, etc. Should be fun!!!! We wrote letters to ourselves about our goals for the next semester and how we plan to accomplish those goals. we get the letter back at a later date to see if we accomplished the goals or not. It was an exhausting day and tomorrow will be even more so. its going to be great though. the rehersal center is really pretty with old gotchic styling. I'll post pictures later. for now i need to sleep. Hugs to all and know that i miss you!!!
