Day 3

It's been quite a long few days in Singapore. I've been busy with registration, orientations, and getting used to the area. Thankfully I've had all of the other UConn exchange students (around 10 of us) in addition to local students and friends that we've picked up along the way to help me out.

Anyways - my mom doesn't like to use the air conditioning in our house at home unless its really hot and humid. We only use it during the hottest couple of weeks in the summer, and in my opinion that's really the only time we need it. My current room in Singapore (a single dorm in an area of buildings with over 3000 single rooms) does not have air conditioning and the weather is soooo humid. I keep waking up early because of the humidity waiting for my mom to turn on the air conditioning (or "air-con" as it is called here). I don't think it's going to happen. Although I do have a fan and a sink in my room, so I shouldn't be complaining. Besides this afternoon, I have barely been in my room anyways.

I'm exhausted still from a combination of jetlag (maybe not anymore? I don't really know how that works), the fact that we have been busy all day, everyday, and because I keep waking up extremely early. But, the bottom line is that I'm lovin' it, so it doesn't matter that I'm overtired (except when I fell asleep at the table when we were out the first full night we were here...).

I'll leave you with the view from one of my windows, notice the cranes in the background.
