Time moves quickly on the Gold Coast. My fist week of classes went really well. I was a little disappointed after my first 3 classes earlier this week because they had so many American study abroad students in them. However, today I went to Sports Public Relations and I was the only American,(which is awesome in my opinion). I think the class is going to be really great too, I'm most excited for that one. Some of today's discussion went a little over my head. The popular sports here are Australian Football, Rugby and Cricket so I am not very knowledgeable of any of those. They kept referring to different teams and players who I had not only never heard of, but I had no idea what sport they were talking about at times! But, I'm totally up for the challenge...I spent part of today looking up teams online and also researching ticket info to see if I could go watch some matches while I'm here. I've also been putting matches on TV. It's not like there is anything better on, we only have about 6 basic channels here at the apartment. I just put on sporting matches and the news.
Today was also club sign up day on campus. All the clubs, intermural sports and societies set up booths and you can walk around and add your name to lists of what you're interested in. I signed up for tennis league information and some type of food appreciation society. I really just wanted the spring rolls and other snacks they had on their table though. They had some giveaways from local businesses too.
I took a few more pictures around campus. This one below of Varsity Towers where I live isn't technically on campus, but very close. We live on the lakeside, top floor. It's an awesome view :)
And also, as promised...my wonderful new, used bike...
