home at Uni

Just to clarify...I am 15 hours ahead of you, not 13. I don't know what I was thinking.

So I made it to Uni yesterday afternoon. At first, I was really overwhelmed because I didn't know where anything was, people aren't all over to ask, things are a lot more expensive here and my room isn't homey. AH! So I decided the best thing for me to do was go to be early and start over today.

This morning I walked around Uni, opened a bank account, and had a Aussie girl here take me around in Brisbane. It was the first time I've taken a city bus I believe. Its quite big here in Brisbane, definitely not Holland anymore!

The place where I am staying is called the Women's College. When I first got here, it looked like a prep school and I was terrified that it was going to be really strict. But everyone is really friendly and helpful so I feel much better today. It sounds like they get a lot of college parties together and mingle with other colleges (dorms). So hopefully I picked a good spot.

I'm off to put my room together. I finally got hangers. I am really starting to appreciate a lot of simple things. How wonderful. Cheers!
