I have school?

Today was my first day of school here at Bond Uni. I had a class called "Dreamtime to Dust" which is part geology, part Australian history focusing mostly on the Aboriginees. I think my professor is the sweetest old Australian man I have ever seen. He wears his socks up to his knees with loafers and short shorts, I'm in love. We talked extensively about rocks and plates and dinosaurs and all that fun stuff. Surprisingly I found myself pretty riveted throughout the 2 hour lecture, which cannot be said for the rest of my friends in my class. There's something about the Australian accent (like the English accent) which makes everything sound really important and intellectual, it's aiding me in my learning capabilities.

Then I had a break because my tutorials (or "toots" as they call them) got cancelled, so I went to the gym and then got some food at Lakeside. I recruited a new member for my soon to be award winning beach volleyball team I'm assembling, so that was exciting.

I had Sex, Society and Movies next. We had a two hour lecture, then a dinner break, and then we had a screening of the movie Kinsey. My professor is the coolest man ever, he's skinny and very "Bret from Flight of the Conchords" looking. He wears nice slacks with sneakers, if that paints any type of picture for you. I adored Kinsey, it was a really interesting movie.

I just got out of the movie at 9, and then Meghan and I went to get Chinese food at this place in Market Square that didn't know what a crab rangoon was. My heart broke into a thousand pieces. I'm really trying to be healthy here but sometimes you just gotta have something greasy.

I have Magazine Writing tomorrow for 3 hours and I really hope the teacher isn't a Nazi like I've heard. I've been in classes for one day and I'm already waiting for Friday to get here.

PS. Got to talk to my Mum and Tim on Skype yesterday and felt my first twinge of homesickness. Hoping that was just a freak accident since it's only been just over a week :)
