April 25

We arrived at Rochester City at 10:10 AM, New York time. I was very tired and feel sleepy. It was very cold and we were introduced to Mary Lamb and Mary Beth. They were nice and greeted us. We left with them and went to Radisson Inn. After a few minutes, Mary Lamb was told that the rooms were not ready yet. She suggested we go to NTID soon. We were surprised with what we saw. NTID is very big school. After a short time, she was told that the rooms were ready. I was partnered with Jasmin. I felt good and glad that I can sleep. We slept very deep. When the two faculties, Florida and Joy came and woke us up, we were ashamed because we overslept. We arrived in the conference room, w. Someone told us that they understand that we were very tired. We felt relieved so that we ate our dinner and soon some American students came and introduced themselves to us. They were nice and sweet but they looked like Asians. I talked to them and we talked about the Philippines. They had many questions about it. They were fascinated by our country. We were sharing with them and laughing out loud. Soon we left and returned to our hotels.
