Second Day

It was a very good day in New York today!
There was a english test at the school to find out, which courses we will take. For the test we had to go to another building of the school, where they had a big auditorium because there were many new students today. I went there together with Yvonne, a german women in the late 20s I guess, and a girl from brazil whose name I did not understand. We had some trouble with finding it but we were there on time. In the auditorium there were already a lot of students. We got some formulars to fill out, sign the rules and things like that. I forgot to take my passport so I have to give it to them tomorrow.
THen the orientation event started. The staff members introduced themselves and gave us many information about the school, activities and New York. The were all very nice so the orientation was very funny and very good! Then we made the test, including listening comprehension, generell gramar exercises, and a one-to-one conversation with one of the staff members.
In the afternoon I got my book and schedule, I will take the advanced courses, which is pretty good, because most of the other students were intermediate or highly intermediate.
What did I see of the city?
Today I went to many places, just to look. I have been to the Apple store, which was very cool. I bought a Minidisplayport-VGA adapter there. When I was in the line to the cashier, a staff member came with a mobile device so i could just pay with credit card there. I got the bill by e-mail, a very good idea. I have been in the Central Park, at Times Square, and many other places, just very short so later more about them.
