27 July - First Day of Uni

So today was the first day of classes and Im still tragically sick.  I went to my first class which is entitled "Australians at War" it is a history course based mostly in the idea that war has had a large impact on Australian society (which is kind of an interesting assertion because most people dont think of Australia as a warring nation).  But it sounds very very interesting and I really like the professor.  The lecture meets once a week and then we have tutorial sessions which are really just smaller discussion groups.  

My next class was Coral Reefs and I had that in a building way across campus.  I am friends with another girl taking the class so that was fun.  We really didnt do too much in that session but I have it again at 9am tomorrow.

After classes we sort of just hung around on the "great court" and had pizza for lunch.  I bought more cold medicine, and the reader for my history class.  I know... very exciting shopping.  Regardless today was fun and we watched Finding Nemo after dinner.  OH and I drew a really cool whale/mermaid/coral poster on the inside of a wrapping paper thingy for Marissa to hang on her wall.  Maybe Ill take a picture of it tomorrow for you  :)  G'night from downunda!

  1. Sam,
    Sorry you are not feeling well. Hopefully, you will pull out of it soon. Your Austrailians at War class sounds interesting, sounds like something you'll enjoy. Take care of yourself, get your rest, and have some fun!
    Your mother & I couldn't be prouder of you.
    Miss you!
