I successfully finished my first week of school. I don't really think you can finish a first week unsuccessfully but if you can then that was not me! I pretty much like all of my classes except for one, my 8am Monday morning class (go figure). Maybe I will end up liking it but as for right now it is just a drag. I really do not normally get done on Wednesday but the first week of school we only have lecture (unless you are one of the unlucky ones who has tutorials) and my Thursday's are full of tutorials. Thursday is actually my longest day of the week but this week my Thursday is a free day :). As far as my other classes go- the ones that are not at 8am, I am going to really like. They might be a little tough but I can definitely scrape by and at least they will be interesting. I am even taking a science class; that is going to be my favorite one I think. It is going to be really educational, informational, interesting and fun! What else can I ask for? The teacher is awesome and the one hour he had us for lecture he sold me into liking his subject. Give me about a week or two and I'll get back to you on that, haha!
The rest of my week, at least since Monday has been pretty uneventful. Monday night my sweet tooth got the best of me so Lucy, Hayley and I drove to Woolworths (the local grocery store) and satisfied our needs. Lucy got some Tim Tams which is an Australian chocolate that all the Aussies eat over here. Pretty much the most delicious thing ever. Some locals heat up a glass of milk and bite off each side of the Tim Tam and suck hot milk out of the Tim Tam and all the chocolate melts in your mouth and I guess its really delicious. It was good without doing that though. Hayley got some frozen oreo cheese cake and I got some Oreo Ice cream. We came home had a few bites of each and stayed up for a little longer and gossiped for a few and then we all just went to bed since we had school the next day.
Tuesday was pretty boring as well. Nothing excited happened except for school and we went swimming until a huge storm hit and then we had to run back to our apartment. Then I just watched American Idol online and I went for a little run (I didn't strain myself though) and then I came home and read my book for a little bit and then hit the hay.
Today I got up early and swam some laps with Natalie at 8am and then I went to my classes (lectures, not tutorials) and then I convinced Hayley to go to this workout class with me at school. I ran 1.8 Kilometers (a little over a mile) for a warm up and then we did a circuit training class that was awesome! After that we walked home in the rain and Sebastian had dinner made so we just ate that and ... That's pretty much it. I took a picture of my walk to school today. This was on the way to my environment technology class.
I will work on getting some pictures of my school and my apartments to post on here but... just don't hold me to it :). I will just work on it (sometime). It is 10pm here and I am ready for bed now. Tomorrow I do not really know what is on the agenda besides buying some school books. If it nice then hopefully the beach and if it isn't then I suppose the plaza or something. Or maybe just relaxing and watching movies... Who knows!
I have to try really hard to get to sleep because people stay up really late on Tuesday's, Thursday's, Friday's and Saturday's. Its really annoying and that is one thing I hate about living here. Not only do they stay up really late they are loud and scream until all hours of the night. I have some ear plugs that I use pretty much every night except Monday's and Wednesday's I suppose, but I would like to invest in some more. They don't sell them at Woolworths though and that is the closest big store. I just have to close my window and turn on my fan for some cool air. I probably live about 100 feet from the Pav where everybody stays up and plays so a big chunk of the noise comes from there. Tonight is not too bad so hopefully I can take out my ear plugs by 2-3am if I happen to wake up.
Well, wish me luck!
Goodnight :)
