Hey hey, so I figured I should post something about today (well it's yesterday now since it's past midnight).
1st day at Ridley!!! Yay!!!
So I showed up at 9am (classes started at 9:30). It was a bit awkward...just wandering around. Saw a few other random people around...but didn't talk much. Then figured I should get a seat so I can be close to the front (tho not at the front haha). Started talking to a guy named Dan. Commented that his textbook looked very worn...it's been well used! Turned out this is his 2nd attempt at it :S
Was pretty nervous. But once it started it was actually very good! The lecturer: Andrew Malone, is an awesome lecturer. It was more of a classroom rather than lecture....which I absolutely love. I realised that I should have tried to learn the Greek Alphabet beforehand haha. But it was still okay. In a way it was easier than I thought it would be, as each letter had a distinct english equivalent sound.
Had morning tea at around 11am till 11:30am. I realised a guy also named Kevin was in my class. Now I met Kevin during Ridley open day, so it's good seeing him again. The class was mostly white people, with a few asians, and a few african background. Dunno why but I found it a bit hard to integrate with the people. All felt a bit awkward and everything. Hopefully things will be better as time goes on. It was mainly guys, and all the white girls huddled together and instantly formed groups/cliques lol....
Anyway class finished around 1pm. I was gonna eat lunch but ended up checking out the library, and then started cramming in the 24 letters of the greek alphabet and how to pronounce them. Also the dipthongs etc. Actually very very draining. Probably studied from 1:30 till 3:30ish. Then went home.
When I got home I was so drained...and just wanted to watch my anime on the TV. But parents had a friend over (some young exchange student who's somehow related to my dad somehow..). I was way too tired to make conversation with her, so just ended up in my room. Took a nap from 5-7pm cuz I was so brain dead. That's probably why I'm struggling to fall asleep now haha.
Overall the day's been good. I felt like there wasn't enough hours in the day actually lol! Hopefully it'll keep being good!
Tests start in 2 days tho....so so scaryyyyyyyyyy >.<
New life is scary but so awesome. But no job atm so just being a student bum lol!
