I am feeling pretty proud of myself while I sit here and review today’s events. So proud in fact that I have decided to reward myself with a little glass of wine. I was very productive today, and I feel like those days always need a little bit of rewarding. My productive day started with breakfast and a phone call to my dad, I then got ready and hopped on the bus and traveled to UNSW. Good thing the bus stop is just outside of the apartment because it was raining. This brings up another reason for me being so proud of myself, it was raining outside. I was so determined to go up to the University that I didn’t let a little rain ruin my day. P.S. I didn’t have an umbrella either; I might need to get one of those handy contraptions.
The bus ride only took about 15 or 20 minutes which I figure isn’t too bad once classes start. When I got to campus I immediately got lost, even with looking at all of the maps posted around. Eventually I found the building I was looking for and got inside before it really started coming down. I checked in at the International Student Services desk, and they gave me some good information including my own campus map.
After I left the ISS I went and got my student ID card. It is so like me that I would chose a day when it is pouring down rain to go get my picture taken for a card I have to carry around with me for a year and a half. I don’t have a good track record for taking official type pictures. Floating head drivers license anyone?
It was only 12pm by the time I left the student ID card place and I didn’t want to go home yet, plus the rain had abated so I thought I’d get lost a little on campus. I found myself in a food court with a chicken naan wrap in my hand not too long after my walk. As I was sitting eating my lunch I spotted one of my other roomies, Henry. We had that awkward moment when I’m waving to him and he is trying to decide if he knows me and how he knows me. Obviously, we are very close. Henry sat and ate his lunch with me and then took me on a mini tour of campus. He dropped me off at the bookstore where I purchased my new school planner! For those of you that don’t know, I am a huge dork and get really excited about a new planner.
After my exciting purchase I hopped back on the bus for the ride home. When I got home I registered for a bunch of pre-class stuff like campus tours, international assemblies, etc., and I wrote them all down in my new planner! Great day even if I did come home looking like a wet rat!!
You could have taken your jellyfish umbrella!!! :)
