Hey all again from the land of the rising sun, I have to be a bit quick in writing this one because I think some people want me to go out to dinner with them, so i will keep it short.
Last night was pretty good, it was a girls birthday so they were having a party and it was a good way to introduce myself. I discovered that there are a lot of australians here but there is also a lot of people from sweden. Theyre all nice, as is everyone, but i think the australians and the swedes are going to have to have a battle for I-House II supreme domination.
Anyway today I woke up extra early out of fear of not waking up at all....had a shower, checked emails/facebook/blog etc then met up at the entrance to go catch our bus.......again made more of a douche of myself when i put the money in the wrong slot on the bus. But the bus drivers are so polite i think i left without paying accidentally several times but they didnt say anything.
I had my first look at my uni today too....its quite nice. Kinda confusing, i think i may get lost at first. I had to register for all this different stuff which was a lot of paperwork and then we had to catch a train to the ward office to hand it all in.
The group i was with were rather cool....some swedes, some americans. some koreans, and an aussie called freddie who actually goes to mac in his 4th year of business/accounting......he is really good at jap too, makes me feel quite inferior but i suppose he did do it as continuers in high school so theres a leg up on me.
anyway we got to the office and were waiting for aaaaaaages, turns out we have to go AGAIN, but theyre not open on weekends or public holidays and orientation starts tomorrow so i have no idea when i am going to find the time to go!!! blarg
yea after we got home we all decided to go ｏｕｔ and do some shopping for things we forgot. I bought some groceries and an internet cable.....but i couldnt find a freaking adaptor so i cant use my laptop.....bloody good use it was bringing that then wasnt it!......we also went to mcdonalds briefly and sat to chat and have a drink....i learned that swedes like theyre coffee very very strong.
anyway i have to go now......i may post more in the comment section if i have time later.
hope you are all having a good time. Send me an email if you get bored, i enjoy hearing from you. Otherwise post a comment below
