Tomorrow the hard life begins …

September 2, 2008

Hi again!

Today was the last day of orientations, which we almost skipped except for the meals :)
In the morning we registered at the gym for whatever reason and then went to the Acquatic centre for swimming (Stephanie is a good swimmer – she left me behind for around 10 lanes!). On the way we met Hannah & Sofie (the girls from Sweden), who had to leave their rooms because of bedbugs (!!!). We then went for a coffee and for lunch at around 12.30 a.m. The afternoon we used for relaxing and I was doing my laundry.

Around 4.30 p.m. I picked up Stephanie at her room and we went to the BBQ, where we had some burgers and drinks and talked with Robin (a Swedish guy we met already last week – he’s pretty cool), the 2 Austrian girls (Berni & Natascha) and some others including Colan (from Toronto). During the BBQ there was a quiz on movies and geography with CD’s as prizes, but we didn’t manage to answer a question as the first ones. At the end of the BBQ we hoarded some some cans of coke and some bread for at home.

So then, the lazy days are over. Tomorrow reality is catching up again and we will have to sit in our first classes – it’s altogether 4 of them tomorrow. We will start already at 8.30 p.m. with “marketing & customer service”, followed by “cultural issues in tourism” where Stephi is hoping to get from the waiting list into the course. Then we go to the Statistics course to sign in, although we want to get rid of it – but we have to do so for not losing it before we are in the other courses, where we are on waiting list.

We tried to get the missing books today as well, but they are not in store, becaue Bookies (that’s the name of the bookstore – how ingenious) missed to order them on time. It could happen that we will not get the books for that 2 courses, which would have the positive effect of saving a lot of money :)

So then, that’s it for the moment … ah, wait … some new pics are online in the gallery.

Feel hugged & be blessed
Yours,
Gergi
