It's raining it pouring! The winds are at about 50 miles an hour.. which here is about 80 km/h. Im kinda worried about using the metric system in all aspects of my classes. They also use celsius here which I'm not use to. Also my weather on my phone switched to celsius so I have no reference what so ever to how hot it is here compared to home. Today was a rainy day so I got to get some things done around the apartment. I also skyped my mom, dad, Courtney, Liz, & Randy. I am finally settled in my apartment. I have my own room with my own bathroom. Its really nice and I'm a bit spoiled, because I have never had a bathroom attached to my room before. I have officially been here a week long! It feels like alot longer than that. Since my last post I have been on two boat cruises being in two different harbors. One the Sydney harbor and the other was in the darling harbor. I also went on a beach day with my housing community. I got to swim in a ocean pool, which was so beautiful and not to mention FREE. Which makes it even better. Today I got a chance to put some photos up around my room and organize my life before I start school in a day or so. I have classes starting Tuesday starting at 2 pm and ending Friday around 1 pm. So I could take 4 day weekend trips around Australia which will be nice. Here for classes they have things called tutees and then lectures. Tutees are manditory with about 30 people in the class while lectures are not with about 300 people and all of the lectures are recorded and online for viewing. So really there is no reason to go to class. I always went to my classes at GV but I will not here. While scheduling they allow you to overlap your tutees with Lec because its not a big deal to never go which is weird to me but if my academic adviser says its alright I'll just go with it. I signed up for a surf camp for a weekend. That will be happening March 22nd. They take you to a "beginners beach" and you stay on the beach for two nights and two days. I am super excited! I surfed alittle bit while I was in Hawaii but nothing to the extent that I will be taught at the camp. Tomorrow I am off to a wine tasting festival in downtown Sydney with the uni. Hopefully after I will get a chance to shop a bit after. Its really going to be weird not having classes on monday but I'll take it!
-I am litterally out of food I have been eatting french bread ($1) with peanut butter or jelly for the last 3 days. Hopefully I will have a chance to hit the grocery store tomorrow.
-Not really sure how hard classes will be..?
-How much studying I will have to put in?
-I am keeping all the letter all of you wrote to me by my bedside.
LOVE YOU ALL
Ally
