First half of O week!

Outside of campus

Hello hello!
I am still in the process of getting settled into the Gold Coast Apartment. One of my suitcases is completely unpacked, another is halfway unpacked, and the other well... I'm working on it. Enough about my suitcases; time for some Bond Uni Orientation week and some of the Aussie Lingo!

I have met so many people this week it is fabulous! On monday my TEAN friends and I went and were orientated with campus, received our ID's, toured the campus, and met friends. Monday night there was a toga party. It was so much fun! It started out at Don's, the local bar on campus, and then moved over to East nightclub in Broadbeach. The club is only about a 5 minute walk from my apartment. It was a lot of fun. I met a guy that literally looked like Tarzan. He was pretty awesome.

Tuesday my friend Jacqi and I went and opened up bank accounts and started the job search. A lot of restaurants around the Broadbeach area are hiring so the job outlook is pretty good. Later I just hung out with some of my TEAN friends and called it a early night.

Wednesday by the Water!

Wednesday I spent the majority of the day on campus. Before lunch time there was a International students seminar, and then went to Wednesday by the Water. Wednesday by the Water happens every week and there is free food and of course tons of water time. This wednesday by the water was at the pool instead of the lake. In the pool there was an inflatable relay race thing. It was fun. I got owned by one of my friends from Finland. Later that night we went over to a housing area not far from campus and had a barbie (grill out) with a bunch of people we didn't know. I made a lot of friends and had an amazing night.
