Orientation is coming to a close, which means tomorrow I have a test (oh yay). It also means I had my last classes today (oh yay!).

Just another general observation about Geneva: people will run you off the sidewalk. Everyone walks every which way, and when they're in groups they really don't care enough to move over for you.They'd rather run you into a wall or onto the street. It's quite rude and I really can't understand it because generally the Genevan people are quite nice.

Today was a balmy 5 degrees Celsius, which means I actually didn't have to wear a hat or gloves for the first time since I got here. I almost didn't know what to do with myself.

Tonight I have an interview with Residence Life for the House Coordinator position in Dawes next year. I'm a little nervous but it's not exactly something I can prep for since I have very little idea of what they might ask me. This is when my ability to think on my feet comes in handy.

Yesterday we went to the USA Mission in Geneva. It's basically an American consulate but since there's already one in Bern, they can't have two. Therefore it's a mission. We basically had different people talk to us for 3 hours but it was really nice and I learned a lot about the State Department and how people got jobs there and what they do. Also, a Smithie who was supposed to be in the Geneva program is working at the Mission because she got an internship there (and obviously opted for that instead of study abroad). It was nice to have someone from home greet us!

I've got to run and make myself (or just my upper half) look presentable for my skype interview with ResLife. More soon!
