Today's classes were great. I really dislike my lectures, but love my tutorials/workshops. I think I like them more because it's more interactive and less "I'm going to stand in front of all of you and talk for 2 hours non-stop". I'll be attending all my classes obviously, but I prefer to have smaller, more one-on-one classes.
Do I dare say I'm excited to start this semester? Believe me, there's a ton of work (essays, quizzes, media releases.. but, it all interests me thus far.
I sound like a lecturer.. "thus far".. who SAYS that? ..lame
Our lift .. or "elevator" to you North Americans lol.. is broken. I have to walk up like, 12 flights of stairs for the next week. My thighs will be rock hard. Good. Beach body here I come. Oh, and you really do pass on the left here. I remember my first week in Australia, Jess would yell "left" at me when we were about to pass someone oncoming.. ahaha! I'm better now!
It's starting to feel like my home now. It's so strange to type that. I miss my family, friends, pets and all the familiarities in Canada, but I like it here. The relationships I so desperately needed when I first got here are starting to develop. When I first arrived, all I wanted was my Mom or Jessica Ward to be with me and let me cry on their shoulder. Now, I've got some wicked friends who all live in Surfers and are all 5 minute or less walking distance from my apartment.
Here she is! I miss this girl so much. I love you Jessica Biatrice Ward!
I totally have to keep my windows closed in my bedroom now. Since we're so close to the ocean, when I kept my windows open, salt and sand got everywhere! I would come home and my sheets were so gross (no, it wasn't from me.. I shower every night.. thankyouverymuch hahaha!) that I'd have to wash them. If you go for a short walk along the beach and then lick your lips, they'll be soooo salty. But, we keep our living room and bathroom windows open .. and of course our balcony is always open! Love the ocean breeze!
My Mom & Dad are going to El Salvador on Monday! SERIOUSLY! Those two are going to have all of Central America done! I'm so excited for them. I told Mom to rent a boat and just come on down to Australia for a visit. She laughed. I was serious. ;)
My university has a hair salon, travel agency, post office, computer store, bookstore and so many other shops. I love it. Student discounts are amazing! I'm thinking about getting my hair done at the university once I get a job. I've also used the post office there, and Just F.Y.I. it's only $1.70 to send me a letter.. haha!
Well this was a long one! I'll include more pictures in my next super-long post so it's interesting! xox
