it was alright. i thought today would be a waste becasue most lectures i had usually was just intro and what to do. but i had a full on lecture and work to do to keep me occupied so im happy. plus whatever the lecturer was yapping on about, i understood so very happy.
what else is in the bag? i might get one another day...

Mine wasn't that spectacular.

I only had 1 hour today. It was a tute for Introductory Economics. The tutor was kind of up himself, saying how he teached in many countries of the world for 4 decades bla bla bla. I have to buy my textbook for this unit tomorrow because i have to do some questions from the book and present to the class my answers next week.

I had to wait for up to 40 minutes to get my ID card.

At least the train was on time. I got to the uni at 12pm, an hour before my tute.

Yeah! I was lining up and I was like, "Is it just me or is this line NOT moving.."
We probably spent about 40mins in there. Blah

My first day was ok. I arrived an hour early to do the library tour, then went straight to my lectures. After the lectures I went to the co-op bookshop to fill out a membership form. Tomorrow, I'm going to buy my textbooks which cost over $450!
Anyways, I only have a one hour lecture tomorrow and I think Hawkesbury has the welcome day thing aswell.

My day was alright ... extremely tired and I only had a 2 hour lecture :p I'm so used to doing nothing ... but oh well, give me a week to swing back into things. Parra is competely different to hawkesbury. I like hawkesbury better, atleast the lecture rooms aren't surrounded by vicky road and james ruse drive :p I feel so odd in introduction to earth sciences - there are only 3 second years all up, but i already had a friend doing the subject with me, so its fine, and everyones doing science except me and my friend :(

After the lecture I stood in line for 20mins to get a stupid $125 textbook :mad:

Now I have to read 100 + pages before tomorrow.
