What do you get when...

You cross Hogwarts (the campus in Harry Potter), the coolest and most modern looking glass buildings, and tropical trees?

Oh yea, the campus of The University of Sydney. For those who have no idea why I am in Sydney, that's the school I am attending for the semester. And school has officially started. I'm going to preface this post by saying you are going to be so jealous of me. Except for my parents who are going to be very angry with me. Oops.

For the first 6 weeks of school (out of 13) I have class 2 days a week (Tuesday and Wednesday). For whatever reason, one of my classes doesn't meet for the first 6 weeks and then it meets on Monday. I'm not complaining though. I set up my tutorials and practicals so that I have condensed my classes on those two days. But I am on campus all day on Tuesday and Wednesday. I am still taking the normal course load and this setup makes way more sense because it cuts down on transportation costs. I miss the convenience of being able to wake up 20 minutes before class and walking there in like 8 minutes while at Virginia. Instead I have a 30 minute commute. So, I would like to do that as infrequently as possible.

In other news, I realized how cool Virginia is. I mean, I knew that already but I have further proof. I went into one of my classes and talked to the professor about the course and what we are going to be doing so I could discuss an equivalent course at Virginia. It is a coastal management course. I told the professor that I had done similar work at Virginia with one of my professors there. He asked me who the professor was and I told him. The professor here started naming all of these papers my professor at Virginia wrote and talking about his theories and stuff. Apparently my professor at Virginia is even a bigger deal than I thought. I don't know if anyone is going to care about this story but I think it's pretty cool.

Well, I don't have much else to discuss about my classes because I'm still "shopping" so I don't have my exact courses. Because I need to prove that I am actually here to go to school, I'll let y'all know when I have classes and I'll let you know how cool they are.

That's all I have to say for now. Hope this satisfies your procrastination.
