My First Week Of Uni

So this post is a tad overdue... I am in my second week now.

Last week, honestly went so fast.

On the first day I honestly never felt happier to have the 'lost on campus' app! Effing life saviour!!
I was supposed to catch the bus to school but I got dropped off haha. I actually only had one class because my next class was a lab which we all would start next week.

Second day I found out I was in the same class as my old friend who I met back in yr 11 and... we instantly became friends again :D But besides that my classes weren't that interesting to me on Tuesdays.

Wednesday I actually had no class because this class (which is the one I just came back from) started week 2. This was the class I had at Mt Henry... all bushland o.0

Thursday I only had a biomed lecture in the morning which actually was really interesting. The lectures for this unit are really awesome!!

And lucky last, Friday I was at my other campus at OHCWA. Basically like all other things it was an intro to the subject. There's not really that much to say :/

Overall the whole week consisted of annoying commutes, 2 1/2 hour breaks between classes, trying to find my class and trying to make friends.

Since I am nearing the end of 2nd week I can honestly say I can see where the cliques are being created and I am not in any of them. I guess since my interests have changed over the years there aren't that many people who have things in common with me :S

I mean yeah, I have made a few friends and I'm trying to create new friendships but I can already see what people I don't fit in with. I really think I am a boring person to some people. But... to my surprise there was one girl I instantly became friends with and maybe that because we are both Cambodian haha!

There are honestly just some subjects where I think this is total bs. I mean we have groups for some classes and I feel so out of place with my group. I am the only adolescent who really has not much in common with these people. In one activity we had to find three things that we all had in common with our group members and one lady said "Are we all born in Australia?" ... that was clearly directed at me, clearly being the only one of a different race -.-

I'm just so fed up with some things though because you are thrown into a world with sooo many different personalities and you are only lucky if you connect with those who have similar interests to you.

Although I honestly do enjoy uni life at Curtin. I really am going to miss it once I get to 2nd and 3rd year. Guess I'll just visit every now and again :/

Uni O-Week 2013

This week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) I attended O-week at my uni.

If anyone is ready this and wondering what the experience will be like for them when they start... well obviously experiences vary

Tuesday I came alone to Curtin for the very first time. It has also made me realise that I hate being independent wahhh I honestly wished my mum or dad was with me haha

Like any new student I got lost (I couldn't even find the bus station for 15 minutes -.-) So when I went into the lecture theatre for the Biomed orientation there were freakin a million people in there. So I sat next to a random and sorta made friends with her but god knows if I'll see her again. I'm surprised I got the courage to talk to anyone... and thats when I realised how introverted I was >>

We also had a tour around the campus areas that may be important to us. Made another friend sorta from my course yay! Then we had a sausage sizzle haha.

On Wednesday I went early to Curtin with my bf to get a blood test. which ended up giving me a bruise wtf   We also met up with his cousin who was a new graduate and he walked us around places and then they sat and ate at some cafe. I bought some books and saw my friend from school who apparently has 1 or 2 classes with me? There was also a unit orientation at 2pm with the other oral health students and made another friend yay! Wednesday was also the guild's O-Day celebration/event thing. We ended up with free drinks, chips and sausage sizzles!!! YAY to free food mofo ...and I also joined the A.S.I.A and M.S.U club for discounts lol oh and also the Anime club at Curtin :D

Thursday's orientation was off campus at the OHCWA. When I got there everyone was already there... seated so I stood like a loner, off to the side, playing subway surfer... I am the definition of a wallflower. Everyone seemed to have their cliques already :/ But when we got inside I was lucky to be able to stay in groups (when we split to meet our mentor) with the only 2 people I knew. We also met with the 2nd year students. Basically we got a campus tour from them and they also answered any questions we had. Ah, and also I won't even be attending Curtin uni anymore from 2nd year haha. I don't know if I even will get the chance to go there anymore after this year :S

So... basically I got lost at campus, joined some clubs, made a few friends but still know hardly anyone, bought some books, found out I need to get another one and got a blood test.

Overall orientation was sorta... full on especially with the effing hot weather!

I hope first week won't be too hard on me :/
