First day at Nebraska!!

Yesterday was so exhausting but I was able to hold up well!! I checked out of the room in DC at 8 am and have been up and baout till 12.30pm. had lunch andthen by 2.30 set out forthe Baltimore airport. a half hour drive. We had to stand in q for 2 hours to check in as our passports had to be checked and baggage needed to be booked. We have to pay 20 dollars for the first piece of luggage.Then we proceeded to the security check which was a cumbersome process. Shoes, laptops, bangles, watches and blah had to be removed. once again a long wait. The flight was ok and pangs of hunger set in. I missed Indian Airlines then!!!

Reached Minneapolis. HUUUUUUUUUUUUge airport! Had to walk almost the distance between chintamani to blue star. GOD! all this for an half hour flight. By the time we reached Nebraska it was 1.30 am. Every one was tired and hungry. The highlight was when someone commentdthat I had always been cheerful and it made others happy. I am always surprised when such comments come by. It made me very happy and i thanked god for this disposition of mine!!. Had a good sleep and awoke fresh forthe next day.

the hotel we stay is very cosy. 2 rooms separated by a kitchenette.

This mornign we set out to the university cafeteria for brunch which was a massive spread. had the most amazing waffles and blueberry sauce.

the campus is so lovely. Orientation got over. Went shopping to walmart at noon. awesome shopping experience!!
