Hi Again!
So I have to make this quick because I'm off to day two of Orientation! But I just wanted to drop a quick note about my day and night yesterday!
It was our first day of Orientation and we had to go to "the great hall" which is this huuuge castle-like building that is SO beautiful and here's a picture of it for you!
That's from inside the courtyard...I don't have a good picture of the front but it's even more beautiful when you're walking up to it from the road!
Anyway, we had most of our orientation in there and another building on campus with breaks for morning tea and lunch! Toward the end of orientation we were getting pretty bored and so me and two other girls (emily and becca) took a little break from the speaches and went and signed up for the gym!! There are three different gyms on campus and they are all awesome! The only crazy thing is that I don't know how much I'm lifting because everything is in Kilograms!! I'll have to figure out the conversions!
After we went to the gym, we made a big chicken and broccoli dinner in the communal kitchen and then got ready to go out! We went to our first local bar, "Scuffy Murphys." It was such a blast and we stayed out until about 1am and then all came back and crashed because we're still a little jet lagged!
Overall it was an awesome day and I'm so happy to be living in this beautiful country! The weather is still bad (60s and rainy) but there are flashes of greatness when the sun comes out and it's wonderful.
I have to run to day two of orientation, so I will check back in soon!
Love you all!
Lauren

It's so much fun to hear the excitement in your blogs! Keep those pix coming and include your roommates and new friends too. And I'm so glad the gyms are awesome. What fun!
Hey Lauren someone at work sent me an article about Icebergs which is a bar at Bondi beach. It was rated one of the top ten beachside bars in the world. Not that I'm advocating you got to more bars but I was just wondering if you had made it to that one yet. Talk to you soon. Love ya, Dad
