Orientation Week

Orientation week in Australia is nothing like orientation week in America. There is almost nothing directed at getting us situated or reading for class. We had one day on campus where we learned about health care and little else. Other than that, this week has just been a lot of drinking and meeting people. I've meet a lot of great people and went to a pub for the first time. 

With regards to my living situation, I'm living 15 minutes from uni on Campus East. It's the largest living area, with 600 students, split into smaller dormitories. I live in a building called the hospital and the names of the other buildings only get better; slums, alcatraze, the yard, the trenches, etc. I've been spending a lot of time on campus (its been raining none stop) watching movies with friends and getting to know my roommates. I'm living in a suite with all guys. Supposedly we have a girl living with us but no one has ever seen her. 

I'm now currently packing up for surf camp, a weekend trip that a lot of my new friends happened to also be going on. I would be looking forward to it more if it wasn't raining like crazy. I'll write more later!

Fish and chips, rain, phone
