I'm halfway through my first week of classes! So far there's not a whole lot to do, I spend three hours in class per day at the very most and I don't even have class on Wednesdays. And I barely have class on Mondays. So really it could be a whole lot worse, although I wish I understood the grading system here...
I had almost two weeks here before classes started and I did as much as I possibly could fit in that time period! Which mostly means a lot of time with friends, trips to the city, pub visits, etc. I also drove out to the coast with some friends to go pet kangaroos and look at other Australian animals which was fun even though it was really cold and rained a bunch. The weather can be really unpredictable here, much like Seattle.
Overall things are still superb, although I've been told that I'm not allowed to use half my vocabulary because it marks me as a "bloody yank" haha.
This week is regular orientation, which mostly means lots of parties and things. Lots of fun! All the party music here is American, all of my international friends love Katy Perry. Singing American songs with a bunch of people whose first language isn't English is pretty awesome.
These blog posts are definitely going to be pretty sporadic throughout the term, I've been awfully busy and I don't know if things are ever going to die down enough for me to spend a whole lot of time online, which is probably a good thing. I'm just job hunting and trying to settle into my classes, but it's all fantastic! I couldn't ask for more so far.
