It's O-Week (Orientation Week) here at Otago, which means the campus (and city) is alive with students catching up with old friends or trying to make new ones (I guess I fall into the latter category). Today it stopped raining for the first time in days, and there are tents set up on lawns all around campus from different shops and organizations--not to mention a Speight's wagon with beer on tap. It's a completely different environment from anything I've experienced at Wheaton, and it's fun to be part of it, or at least interesting. Who knew orientation activities could involve anything other than sessions on how to use campus internet?
