First Week of School

Just got done with my first week of school! It wasn't terribly exciting, just introductory lectures and a little bit of learning. So far I really like my biology class, we're starting to learn about how Australia was formed and some early kinds of Australian plants and dinosaurs and such. I think I'm really going to like the class, we get to go on field trips to an island and the Australia Zoo and some national parks. I got horribly sick on Wednesday, a had a sore throat so bad I didn't even want to drink water it hurt so much. I went to the health clinic on campus and the nurse said she thought I might have tonsilitis but the doctor said it was just a swollen sore throat and to go home and rest. I feel perfectly fine now, but the doctor gave me these gigantic pills to take for the next week, which is really irritating because I have to take them twice a day and I can't eat for half an hour afterwards. Let's see, what else? I went to a movie the other day, a group of us got together and saw Shutter Island. It was pretty good, definitely unexpected and very thought provoking. On the way to the movie I ran into somebody who went to my high school and now is studying abroad too! Definitely makes the world feel a lot smaller. Other than that I haven't had much to do to take up my extra free time, I've been sleeping and reading a lot since I've been sick all week. Hopefully I'll find some fun things to do this weekend!
