At the start of this program, the entire class practically did everything together, but like I expected, we've begun breaking down into smaller groups of friends and doing our own separate little activities.
Oh yeah, and we've finally gotten into the groove of waking up every morning at nine o'clock for class. I take notes in class and do the assignments and all.. but honestly, so far the class almost seems like a joke and isn't very difficult at all. I still feel like I'm here on vacation more than school, but with all the money my parents have invested in this program, I'm trying really hard to get into the mentality of making the most that I can out of this trip! But so far, the vast majority of what I've been getting out of it are a few more pounds of good food!
And without further adieu, photo updates!

Georgie startled the girl next to her into dropping her drink on the floor..funny stuff! ..but poor girl..

Now you know why hawker stands are amazing--and these prices are listed in Singapore currency which is about 3/4 that of American! I ended up getting the Seafood Crispy Noodle.

We discovered a BAR ON CAMPUS.. the owner is an awesome guy and really nice to all of us. On top of that, the alcohol is the cheaper than most places we've been to in Singapore, and there's FREE Karaoke!!
Dr. Lee designated me to be the class photographer so I could awkwardly/creepily take photos during class and class excursions.
