Sorry for the Lag in updates... This past week has been nothing but Flyers, posters, meetings, orientations, more flyers and handouts and A LOT of new people. We have been shuffled around to all of these international student briefings and I have met more people from around the world than people who are actually from Australia. Classes start on the 26th so I still have a little time still before everything gets going to sort of process all of the new info being thrown at me....
Beyond that, I am totally in love with this city! There are cafe’s everywhere, places to shop, touristy things to do... basically everything you could possibly want out of a city and more. I think I’ve finally settled in. I gave in though and bought a heater for my room. I thought I could stick it out and just wear warm clothes, but last night was the coldest since we’ve been here and I just couldn’t take it any more. They had one for $13 at the Big W which is the big grocery store here. I didn’t think $13 was too bad for a little extra comfort. Everything in this city is insanely expensive though... I still can’t really get over it.
The university is so beautiful. It looks like something out of Harry Potter. We’ve all decided to dress up in Hogwarts robes for halloween. There are huge open grassy places to sit and there are some huge trees with bright pink flowers on them. I’m anxious to get classes started and get into a routine of things.
I feel like this is a bit of a lame post, but there really isn’t much to say. Just a lot of new info and city exploration. Just trying to get my bearings. I will try to put up some pictures soon... I have to pay for internet per MB so uploading pictures costs quite a bit so I will try to pick out some good ones to share.
Missing you all and I’ll post again soon.. until then, no worries!
