Aussie word of the day: Knackered = tired, "I'm feeling a bit knackered from staying out late last night."
Hi all! I have been a bit slack on the blogging the last few days due to shear laziness. Unfortunately, there hasn't been anything amazing to write about as the orientation activities have died down and campus has been pretty quiet.
Yesterday, I officially enroled (that's the way they spell it here) in my courses for the semester and am pleasantly suprised at how light the load seems. I am only attending classes Tuesday-Thursday and only have morning class on Thursday. Even so, there will be little down time once I get a part-time job and use my mornings to work.
Last night, I got to enjoy a little off-campus time with some new friends at the Grapeskin, a trendy little cocktail bar in Northbridge and then a comedy show at The Brass Monkey, where I got to hear the Australian perspective of Americans from one comedienne. It's always interesting to see it from the other side. After meeting some other American students last Saturday at the student welcome party, I can definately see it from the other side. The Americans at the party were the ass-slapping, hooping and hollering ones.. except me:) You definately notice it more when you aren't in America with other loud, ass-slapping people.
So you may be wondering why I posted a picture of cereal on the blog. Well, I saw this at the shop (store) and thought it was funny because I instantly recognized the Raisin Bran box, but what is this, Sultana? In Australia raisins are called sultanas. Betcha couldn't live another day without knowing that. But I do think the raisins are bigger and tastier than the raisins in Raisin Bran, so maybe Sultana's are better.
