Arrival

My plane got in at about 9 last night (the 9th). It took us a while to all get our luggage (there were 32 of us) and get out and into the bus. It was a 2-hour ride to UCU (my school). I got to my dorm, with all of my stuff, at about midnight and went to bed around 2. I unpacked and organized some of my stuff last night, but I still have a lot more to do. One of my eyes hurts a lot. Also, I sliced open my left index finger on my folder before I got on the plane in DC so that hurts too. It's hot here and humid.
My first flight was 2 days ago (the 8th). It left from DC at around 6:30 and was about 6.5 hours long. We had about 3 hours layover int eh Amsterdam airport. My second flight, from Amsterdam to Entebbe was about 8 hours long. I slept very little on either one. They did have a good selection of movies though. I watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (twice), the beginning of Nights in Rodanthe, Mamma Mia, 2 episodes of Scrubs, E True Hollywood Story on Heath Ledger, a TV special on The Dark Knight, and listened to the Juno soundtrack a couple times through. I read most of my book; I have less than 100 pages left. I watched the sun rise in the Amsterdam airport and set as we flew over Africa.
Today we've had a few orientation-type meetings, information about the school, about health and safety and such. We filled out some paperwork, I got a picture taken (in which I do not look good), we ate some food (chapatti (sp?), mango juice, bananas - for breakfast, and rice, beans, and posho for lunch). My dorm is called Josephine Tucker Hall. It's in Honours College, which is basically about 4 or 6 small dorm buildings where the honors students at the school live. There are 8-10 rooms on my hall, and 6 USE students including me, in the dorm. We also have a lobby/common area with a bunch of couches. My dorm building is the farthest away. Honours College is on a hill and Josephine Tucker is the farthest up the hill. I don't get Internet in my dorm, but I can get Wi-Fi from the closest girls dorm, which is where I am now.
I've received so much information today, I can't remember it all and I don't know what to write. I have part of my class schedule, but I don't feel like retrieving it currently. From what I remember, I have a class Tuesday morning from 10-11, on Wednesday and Thursday from 2-4, and on Friday morning. I also have tutorials, which aren't scheduled yet and sessions with all of the other USP students. I don't know when those are. I'm starting my 2-week homestay with a family in Mukono (the nearest town) next Saturday, so I'll be packing up and leaving in a week. It's weird to me that it's so early. I think I'm going to sign off for now. Everyone there is probably asleep already. It's 3:30 here, so it's about...1:30 am there. I miss you guys. I wish I could talk. Oh, I will have texting but I have to pay about 12 cents for each message. I think it's only messages I send. I probably won't be texting much. Okay, that is actually all. I'm going to go to my room. Maybe I'll take a nap for a little while. Or shower. Anyways, I will talk to you later. Vaya con Dios.
