Well, I’ve had an eventful few days....first off I am sad to hear that the Vball team lost.....but at the same time not suprised either.
Anyway on to Perth, I will say it again but I really like the campus. It is big and unique looking. Going back to Ryerson is gonna be hard with all that grey. Well on Saturday I went on a tour of the Perth Area. At 9am we were at a chocolate factory trying chocolate...I’m sure many of you have the same reaction that Melissa had and that was "bitch!". Anyway after that we went to a winery which for me was boring since I don’t drink wine...it’s only liquer for me....as some of you well know (Vodka being the drink of choice).
We then went to Hilary Harbour where the aquarium is located and I went to another aquarium since I also went to the one in Sydney. Going to an aquarium so totally makes me want to snorkel and also move to Australia which I think will happen in the long run. Anyway after the aquarium Caren and I met up with another Aussie girl Jess and some international students she had met and we all went down to the beach. I had a little issue with determining how big a wave so I got quite wet.
The other thing I got that day was a sunburn. My nose and forehead hurt so much....at least I now have colour in my face.
Anyway after a long day Jess and I went over to Caren’s and sat and watched Mean Girl’s which is kind of sad since I am in Australia and I am watching an american movie.
On that note though I found out something exciting. There is an australian program that I used to watch back in Canada and while I am Australia I will be able to download them legally. That means just before I leave here I am gonna download this last season so I can watch them at home. The other thing that makes me happy about that is that new TV season starts end of Jan/start of Feb so basically I am here for most of the season.
Even though classes haven’t started yet I have already learned something about myself. And that is I will not live in Scarborough next year. Unless something drastic happens I am gonna move downtown and live with other people or on my own I really don’t care I just need to get away from the relatives and have a place to myself. I am 25 goddamnit! I shouldn’t be stuck there and living in residence here has totally shown me that if I go back to Scarborough I will be completely and totally miserable and I don’t want that.
Pictures will be up as soon as I can get the internet to allow me to upload pictures. However if you are on facebook I have posted some pictures on there. That’s what the internet would allow me to put up before kicking me off.
Tomorrow is my orientation and I get to get my student card. This is gonna be fun and I actually can’t wait for my classes to start. Most of my choices of classes weren’t available which makes me sad. For english I am taking Narrative but the books we are reading are quite cool. I am taking Australian Studies which rocks. And for my 2 RTA type classes I am taking "Thinking about TV" and "Experimental Film and Video". It should be fun.

Hello Karen
It's good to see that your having fun in Australia. and the farther away you are the better we get along so stay there. Well the reason I'm leaving this comment is to tell you that today while moving furniture with the parents i got a call from the recruitment office.
