Well, one more week is under my belt! My classes have all been really good, and I'm really enjoying getting to take some "fun" classes. For instance, my Intro to Indigenous Australia class has been a great way, not only to get to know about Aboriginal Australians, but as a way of getting to know more about Australian history and colonization. And my Graphic Design course has already made me realize how not creative I really am. Most of the other students are design or journalism majors, and they are able to crank out our assignments without a problem. Meanwhile, I just sit there, laughing at myself because I haven't had to be creative wi
th anything in so long. Accounting is definitely much more up my alley, but it's been fun to get to try my hand at something so artistic.I've also gotten to go to the beach a few times this week. We've been having uncharacteristically warm weather, and, even though it's still Winter, have wasted no time in getting a head start on our tans. The water is still ice cold, but it's definitely more fun reading for my econ class at the beach, complete with sand, surf, and a lighthouse. I've also explored the town a bit more by running. It's been a great way to see more of the town and surrounding area. I've concluded that Wollongong is an absolutely gorgeous place to be, and couldn't be happier with my choice to study here.
nce, though, because most of the girls who signed up are Americans so none of us will have a clue what's supposed to be happening. It'll be fun for sure, and I'm certain we'll all learn a lot.
