So since I last updated my blog it's been about a week..not doing too good at the whole keeping you all updated thing - sorry! Oweek was AMAZING - it finished with a bang...Dreamworld (the theme park) was a lot of fun :) and then rubix cube night was a real life, Saturday we ventured to a nearby bar for drinks, and Sunday saw us performing the Fresher Dance 10 times...I have never hated a song more, Britney Spears - I Wanna Go will never be the same, and when I hear it back in the UK you better watch out for my amazing moves tehehehe...Sunday there was SGM where I was voted Fresher Rep and it was all finished off with 'becoming a housie' which was hilarious and freezing - unlike UK initiations there was less focus on alcohol but more focus on being loud and doing ridiculous things - from begin painted on, to having to fish out sweets from cold baked beans and from eating weetabix with no liquid to apple bobbing out of suncream..it was very messy but very fun.
When Oweek was over I was expecting it to quiten down - couldn't have been more wrong, Monday was Bara Khana, otherwise known as formal dinner, where we all got dressed up and served a three course meal - much like Nightingale. It was a fun evening but we were all really tired, Tuesday I started classes - class here is intense and fast paced but also really fast paced so looking forward to the semester :) although freaking out about dissertation topics....
Thursday there was a snow night at a local bar, needless to say i stayed well away from the ice and snow, but it was really fun to socialise as a big group and get out IH chants out...Friday morning it was off to watch Harry Potter (finally) and do some shopping in the city...Saturday was our first proper night out here to a club - lots of fun, and lots of good music, but made me miss Ocean on a Friday!! Saturday day a massive group of us went to the Gold Coast (about an hour away) to swim in the Pacific Ocean and play volleyball - it was quite chilly, but I still made it into the ocean and enjoyed the beauty of an Australian Beach - while Sunday was supposed to be a day of rest we ended up getting roped into the Hockey Team Practice, and Chelsea and I are now playing this coming Saturday :) good fun but so much exercise is taking it's toll and making me very sleepy and very stiff..Sunday night saw auditions for a One Act Play come round - we're hoping to do A Single Man, and I auditioned for the part of Charley - cast list goes up tomorrow but i'm not very hopeful - still enjoying myself so much though :)
Another week, another host of activites already planned, and a whole 'heap' of work to be getting on with...
