Friends and other awesomeness

Today I am officially thankful! I have had a few really busy days that have been fantastic!!

On Thursday I met a girl named Esther from Malaysia and we hung out all day. She knew someone who had been at MSU for a while who showed us around the uni (which is massive!) and then took us on the bus to Walmart (which is even more massive!!!) I was so excited to have someone to hang out with and talk to :)

I also got a room mate! Her name is Maria and she's from Norway and we got along so well! We had a lot in common, like the fact that we are both bookworms :P

Then on Friday, we had a huge international student orientation day which included breakfast, lunch and dinner! We started with an ice breaker game and I met some really lovely people. Then we had different people come and talk to us about uni and stuff. We had lunch and then a fair with stalls from different groups we could join, then a tour of the library (which is also amazing!!), and a pizza party for dinner! All up I met people from New Zealand, Norway, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Malaysia, China, Korea, Netherlands and even an Australian named Amelia!!!!!

On Saturday Maria (my room mate) invited to get breakfast with her and her Norwegian friends and then I ended up spending the whole day with them! We bought SIM cards, looked around the mall, ate lunch downtown and went grocery shopping and had the best Chai Latte. It was a great day :)

I am so thankful for all the people I have met over the last few days and the friends I have made. It is so nicety know people here and have someone to talk to. Thank you God for friends!!! And I am also thankful for the SNOW!!! It has snowed the last 2 days and I am loving it!! My Norwegian friends think I'm crazy cos it's actually so cold but it's worth it when it's snowing :)
