Here are some first impressions of my classmates, from the Manhattan Circle Line Cruise we took at the end of orientation.  Click on any of the thumbnails below to see larger pictures.

 

Me and Luciana...she's Brazilian...and yes, she does Capoeira....and, on top of that, she's from Parana!	Me and Khadeja (from Atlanta) and that blurry little green thing behind us is the Statue of Liberty.
The lovely Sarah, Caroline, and Melissa.	Me and the harem of fashion designers I smuggled aboard: Summer, Tamar, and Chrissie.
Mike (another southern California guy) and his wife, Beatrix.
Sherry and the World Trade Center.	Alexis, Girma (from Ethiopia), and Jacob (from Nigeria).
