Well, I made it through my first day of classes at Vic Uni. I only had two so it wasn't that bad and I got to take a two hour nap in between. This whole not working thing is really great :)
Tomorrow is my 21st birthday so hopefully it will be fun! I don't have much planned...just going out for a few drinks because most people have class the next day. I am going to miss my annual dairy queen ice cream cake though and my trip to Beni Hana. Oh well, maybe when I get back I can go.
In my first class today, Gender, race and development...we ended the class singing a traditional Maori song and I had no idea what was going on. I have never sang in a lecture before but I guess it's a new experience! My second class is Maori society and culture and we were going to sing but no one knew enough of the words to make it sound nice. So I guess I'll have my own little choir practices each week.
The classes seem involved but not hard...or at least not yet. The first day is always hard to judge but apparently Kiwi's are silent studiers. They claim to just hang out but I guess they study all the time. Maybe I'll have to follow their example. It is nice though to think that I only have 11 weeks of class as opposed to 18 that I usually have at a semester at home. My spring break is only a month away..I guess I should start planning now if I want to go to Australia!!!
Hopefully I'll have a really exciting birthday and have something to write about next time! Until then...cheers!
