Day 3 in AussieLand & MAILING ADDRESS

Hiiiiiiiii!

I went to the post office today and got my campus address:

Lauren Price

Edwards Hall Room #B244

University of Newcastle

University Drive

Callaghan, NSW 2308

Australia

Also, today I went to the Student Union and got my ID card...I look WAY to happy to be getting my picture taken! But being a student here is definitely legit now:

I met my R.A. today, her name is Luey. Pronounced Loo-ee. She's really cool! She has a lot of hall events planned for next week once everyone else arrives! Sooo I'm holding out for that! :)

Here are more pictures from around my campus:

^This is the main "foot path" or sidewalk that I take everywhere to and from my dorm.
^This is the rainforest surrounded bridge that connects the university to the Student Hub. It's really long and underneath is a huge swamp! On each side you just see Eucatyptus (spelling?) trees for miles and all types of wildlife.
^Side view from the main bridge...sorry if these pictures are becoming boring!

BACKWARDS CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^

I also got my class schedule today! I'm only going to school for 2 days a week (Wednesday and Thursday). I'm taking 3 classes. Unfortunately, ALL of the classes I had originally intended to take are full. I'm going to try and get an override into my Intro. to the Outback class.

One last funny story- I went to the bank this morning to convert the rest of my money. When I walked in, the man behind the counter said, "Hello, can I get your phonie?" (...meaning phone number), but I thought he said "Hello, you're funny!" So I did this cheesy little giggle and we stared blankly at each other for 30 seconds before he REALLY slowly asked me again. It was embarrassing. And then once I realized what he was talking about, I had to whip out the post-it note with my number on it. I'm sure I looked really cool.

Miss you all,

Lauren

P.S. THERE ARE NO BAGELS IN AUSTRALIA!!!! :( :( :(
