Lectures, Leadership, Banking, “Salt”, & Digicel Party



Today was a very busy day and I started it a little bit grumpy due to lack of sleep. After trying to deal with financial aid and sitting through lectures about the rigorous coursework ahead we split off into groups to do leadership activities. After the official last day of orientation was over we headed over to the bank to pick up our checkbooks and debit cards and also deposit our financial aid checks, so now I have money! After 2 hours at the bank we went to the Caribbean Cinemas to see the movie "Salt" which was pretty good if you like action movies. I was very tired working on only 4-5 hours of sleep, but it kept me awake so I was impressed. Later tonight we went to a party hosted by the cell phone company on the island called Digicel. It was really fun, complete with a DJ, free food and free drinks. We danced and had a really good time. Dealing with the local men can be a challenge on the dance floor as they don't really understand the word "No", but learned the best thing to do is just walk away and they usually don't follow.
