I didn't sleep very well last night and then at 7am a stupid bird was being obnoxiously loud and annoying. I got up at about 10:30 and didn't do a whole lot because I don't have class on Fridays! I met Matilda about 12:30 and we sat at the Pavilion and talked. I like sitting at the Pavilion because there were a lot of people walking by so I got to talk to them as well. I took a 2-hour nap, which was wonderful. It has been a nice day except that it has been r...

I had to go to class today. I was pretty tired when I woke up even though I was in bed by 12:15. I woke up about 8:30 and had to get ready for my 10am Intro to Australian Politics lecture, next week I will have the tutorial for it at 9am. The lecture is 2 hours long, not fun but at least we got a short break in the middle. That means I will have 3 hours of politics every Thursday, not too thrilled about that but hopefully I will learn a lot about Australian p...

I tried to call the bank help line so I could use online banking and my phone wouldn't wo...

I woke up at about 9am and don't have class until noon on Tuesdays so I decided to do some laps in the pool. My class is Walking Sites: Cultural Heritage Tours. I think it will be very interesting but he said from the start that the class is a lot of work and research but those who stick with it find it very rewarding. The course explores cultural tourism and cultural heritage. I will have to produce a Walking Tours booklet detailing the historical and cultur...

Vacation is officially over :( I had to go to my first class at 10am. It was Applications in Social and Community work. We went over the course outline and I think it will be beneficial for me to take it. We will be discussing what community work is and the role of community workers, working in groups, needs analysis, strategic planning, evaluation, lobbying, social action and applying for grants, inclusive practice, conflict resolution and achieving good pr...
