I'm still alive. This morning we had Chinese food for breakfast. It's kind of weird eating fried rice for breakfast. (Unless you're Dad.) Then we had orientation, where they just talked to us about stuff. After lunch some of us went for a walk to the mall, then we went to a little shop. It was fun. My roommate is named Mollie, and she's from a town near Birmingham. It's fun to tell people about Rachel. A lot of people ask me about Nevada, and what it's like there, and they think it's really interesting, too. (Fancy that.) I love how people stare at us as we walk down the street. Tonight we're having a welcome dinner, and that should be fun. Beijing is a lovely place, even though you can't even see the sky for all the smaug. How are you?
