I wil get pictures up I promise....and my time at Curtin.

So I am at university now. The residence's here are nothing like they are in Toronto (Ryerson and U of T). My room is huge and I could just go on and on about how nice the residence's are. The campus is nice looking to and it's huge which is a big difference.

Another thing that kicks ass about Australia is the shopping. I am seriously loving it and will probably come home poor and with a new wardrobe which is awesome.
Anyway I picked my classes. I am taking: Experimental Film and Video, Australian Studies, Thinking about TV and Narrative for my English (which is actually much more interesting than it sounds). We get to read Fight Club which is always awesome for me.

I’m gonna be busy the next while. Tomorrow is a tour of Perth which includes an animal sancuatry, and whine, cheese and chocolate. On Sunday it’s a Chinese New Year thing and then on Tuesday is City and Surf which is another tour thing. Monday is orientation for exchange students and then in a week and half I finally start my classes.

About my roommates....Well there is Michael who is Australian. Then there are Hannah and Lorenz who went to high school in Singapore but neither of them are actually from there. Another person that is here is Josh who is an American exchange student. However Michael saw him the first night he arrived and hasn’t seen him since.
There are still some more people that are returning to the residence from last year. One of them is Indian and from Mauritius. See...other people do come from that country. Another roommate is Malaysian, another Indian girl who went to school in Singapore and then an unknown roommate.

I’ve made some friends already since I’ve been here. The amusing part about that is the name of the person who I would say I get on with the best. Her name is Caren (yes it sounds exactly like my name) which is odd cause it sounds like I’m talking about myself in the 3rd person. Anyway I think we bond over the fact that we are older than everyone else which is nice.
So just to keep you updated. I will get pictures up however I am having issues with the internet here. I’m having trouble uploading pictures. Because I am tired and am restricted for the rest of the day I am going to try uploading my pictures to Flickr tomorrow and then just put a link on the blog. But I will keep you updated.
