Day 66 - Meeting more people

Today I went to the Meteorology welcome meeting and the first Christian Union meeting. I could write a ton about both of those, but I'll say for now that I like them both a lot. The meteorology building has a giant neon art thing inside that lights up different colors based on the direction of the wind. So cool! I'd love something like that for my house. The CU is very unique (compared to what OU has) because it's sponsored by all the various churches in Reading, from Anglican to Pentecostal to Reformed Baptist. If you'd like to know more, email me. In summary, I met (and got to know better) a lot of great people today at both places and a few more at my hall.

I think I've already met more people in England than in Oklahoma, and that's after living in OK for 6 years. It's impossible to remember that many names, so I remember most people by where they're from. And that works, because everybody at the Univ. of Reading is from somewhere other than Reading and it's hard to find two people who are from the same place. It's not like OU where at least half the people are from either the OKC or DFW areas, and definitely not like SJSU where 90%+ are from San Jose. Of the hundreds of people I've met, only a few were from London and none were from Berkshire (Reading's county).

And there's another thing that the Meteorology department, Christian Union, int'l students, and Windsor Hall have in common. I'm not gonna say what that is, but I'm sure some of you can already guess ;-)
