So yesterday was our second and final day of orientation. We were given our classes which pretty much everyone I talked to said they need to switch around, so I don't feel like I'm alone in the fact that I still have no idea what I'll be taking!! We have two weeks to figure it out though, so I'm not too worried.
Orientation lasted until about 2pm and then we went to the gym. I've been training my roommate and she keeps waking up really sore...makes me miss working at BSC! I am becomming more acquainted with kilograms but it still kind of a hard conversion because its multiplied by 2.2 and you all know how I am at mental math...!
After the gym we came home and cooked a little family dinner - mini pesto pizzas with chicken, broccoli and spinach - a favorite of mine! Here's a picture of me, my roommate (emily) and becca eating our dinner:
notice the water bottles filled with wine because we don't have cups and the toilet paper roll for napkins...we are truly living as poor freshman again!! You can also see that I am still very white...no sun yet in Sydney but it should be coming any day now!!
After dinner, we went out with some local aussies that have some mutual friends with Becca. They took us to a couple bars that they like around campus and it was really fun to see the city. The bars were pretty empty though, considering it was a tuesday night and there are no students around yet because they don't start classes for another 2 weeks! Here are a couple pictures from the night!
This is becca, laura, emily and me on our spiral staircase, taking a prom picture before we went out! Cute, right?
And here is emily, laura and I in a cab on the way home from the bar...I didn't do a very good job of taking pictures during the night, but my roommate has some that I can put up later!
After the bars, I came home, talked to some people on skype and IM and then went to bed! I am definitely having an amazing experience so far, but whenever I talk to anyone from home I still feel that little bit of homesickness! I guess it's just because I love you all so much and wish you could be here with me!
Today we are planning to go down to the harbor and see the bridge and the operah house and just walk around and enjoy the day! It's still raining but according to weather.com it's supposed to be sunny and 80 tomorrow...finally!! All the aussies keep telling us we got here for the worst week of the summer...they won't stop rubbing it in! But soon enough we'll be enjoying the hot sun on the beach!
That's all for now, I'll keep you all updated!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE,
Lauren
