It’s 3 am and I’m wide awake. Jet lag is going to suck.
So, the verdict on dinner: Definitely not as good as
Pomona’s dining halls or as good as cooking with the family, but just fine. I
am glad that in about two weeks, I’ll get to cook on my own, though. Food-wise,
the only thing I saw here that I wouldn’t see in the states was that
yogurt-pudding stuff, similar to what we had in Israel. Their dairy products
just come in more varieties than ours.

My breakfast- porridge, canned fruit, tomatoes, dried fruit medley with oats |
Since last writing, I got to talk to most of the other
people in the Pomona group. Everyone’s nice and seems excited, which is good.
As a whole (at least for now), we’ve got a lot of energy and enthusiasm about
being here, and I think that’ll make a huge difference as we explore for the
next week and a half. For now, everyone kind of already has their set “people”
to hang out with, me included. But I’m excited to meet lots of new people during
Fresher’s Week (which will hopefully be as awesome as it sounds- a week of
endless events just for us, basically), in our classes, and in our flats
obviously.
We met our program director Tom at dinner. He’s here just
for us, knows everything, and looks exactly like the old man who plays chess against
himself in that Pixar animated short. And he bought us all a glass of wine or
beer as we talked about our upcoming adventures around Edinburgh. I have a good
feeling about this guy.
