Australia Adventures Continue

Wow! No other words to describe this week.  Everything here has been hot, hectic, and "heaps" of fun. 

Last week we started classes and some tutorials and they don't seem too bad.  The way that school is done here is that you have a lecture with a larger class once and week for about 2 hours, and then on another day or same day, different time, you have a tutorial.  A tutorial is usually with the same professor, but with a smaller group.  This is where more discussion happens rather than lectures.  I could do without the school part, but I guess that is part of the deal.  Luckily I don't have any classes or tutorials on Friday. 

This past Friday was the first pub crawl, hosted by Bond.  My friends and I were on the green team which was the alien team.  The other team was the blue team, aka the astronauts.  We started the pub crawl at Don's at 4:45pm, which is the bar on campus and later went to 5 other bars.  We ended up leaving the last bar at 1:00 in the morning and got back to campus around 1:30.  Needless to say the next day we just need a place to chill, so we all went to Burleigh Beach.  We laid out on the beach and just relaxed all day.  I could totally get used to the whole beach thing.

Today was awesome.  We went to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, which is where you can pet and feed kangaroos, as well had hold koala bears.  We have an eventful but extremely long day.  Tomorrow we start week 2 of classes.  I cannot believe that tomorrow I will be here 3 weeks already.  Where has the time gone?

Well, until later...CHEERS!
