First trip to the University

Today I took my first trip to La Javeriana, and I must say that I absolutely love this university. It is an incredibly beautiful university, and is quite a bit larger than what I'm used to (20,000 students at La Jave...Scholastica only had 2,000). It's 80 blocks from where I am staying now, which means that I will need roughly 40 minutes to go back and forth from the house to the school.

The director of my program was incredibly welcoming. When Vane and I arrived, he dropped everything and spent the next 4.5 hours showing us around the campus, talking about the university and his studies, and then he treated us to lunch across the street (I wonder if he had any work to do???). He was a big hippie while he studied in the US during the '70s, and he has tought Conflict Resolution classes at universities in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Uppsala, Sweden. I'm very excited for Jan 28, when my classes will finally start.
