2nd entry

January 26th

So lets see what else is new. I did all the orientation stuff Thursday and Friday. It was long and boring, but useful, I guess. Long days, though. And at night I'd been going out with people and hanging out and stuff. Thursday we went into the city, I think, and Friday we also went into the city. People needed a bunch of stuff. I've been hanging out with Brette (a girl) and Jackie, who are from Moravian, Amanda and Martha, (Amanda's also from Moravian) and Dan, Canadian, and Cielito, Australian. They're all really cool, I like them. We went out last night (Friday) to a bar, but I was too cheap to have more than 2. We got a cab back, because the buses stop running at 11:30, and we didn't get to the pub until like 10:30. We ran into some other people there, who I knew from orientation. Woke up this morning at 9 because the sun was in my eyes. We had a Vegemite party for Cielito, because it's Australia day today! It's not bad, actually, in small doses. Tastes like salt. We went into Limerick today and saw King John's Castle. It was pretty neat. We got some good pictures. I got postcards and stuff. We stopped by St. Mary's Cathedral, but we couldn't get in. Lots of graves around there. I guess it was an Anglican church. Then we came back, and I figured out my courses. Or, at least what courses I'm going to go to for the first week, then we'll re-analyze after that. The only thing that sucks is that my folklore class will run an hour into my science fiction in literature and film class, if I take both. Ech. But there are enough other classes and stuff, and I'm sure that they'll let me just kinda be there, if I ask the professor. I'm thinking about auditing a few, but I'm not sure what the point would be. I'll talk to people and see. I'm going to go around campus tomorrow and see where all the classes are, in what buildings and everything. Still don't have internet. It's getting kinda annoying. And I've got to do my applications and get those out so I can stop worrying about them. And I think I might go to an office party tonight..i.e. watch the office, haha. And I think I'll take Cielito out for a drink tonight for Australia day. It'll be expensive, but its the least I can do. Plus, I'm kinda feeling the pub tonight. I shouldn't be, but I am. This habit is going to burn a hole right through my pocket, haha.

I think that's about it for now. I'm going to make myself do research applications.

More to come,
Love,

Justin
