3rd - Last Day of Orientation

So today stated off with two more presentations about Life at Gallaudet. Nothing exciting to tell unfortunately. I did get to know some more people though so I am making slow progress. Some of them sign so fast; I am lost after three sentences! The best part of the day came after lunch. We went to CHINATOWN!!! YEA YEA! The student leaders talked about how to ride the metro. I had forgotten the DC metro was so nice and had soooo many escalators!!! Good Grief! I still dont really like it but I do feel a tad safer than being in NYC's subway stations. I still find it a bit confusing but as long as I carry my map and read the signs I should be ok. Hope I never have to ride it alone. That may take awhile till I get used to doing that. We ate at Vispiano. I think thats what it was called. Really good pasta! Yum. I think I will take people there when they visit me. :) I had never seen that part of DC before. I didnt realize how alike NYC and DC are with all the shops, restaurants, movie theatres etc. DC has everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So unlike my Ithaca. I kinda miss Ithaca. I knew where everything was there. I could feel safe walking around the Commons and such. Here by Gallaudet. Never walk alone. Even in the day time its creepy a bit to me. Oh well. Still full from my dinner at Vispiano. SO much food yo! Oh and one of my friends lives on my floor!! yayyyyy. I had never seen her before on my floor till today. So funny! So one person on my floor at least till Sunday when everyone else arrives. I love how JB is watching me type this :D hehehe
