I went to check out the mawson lake campus today, since my classes start at 9am this monday there, I figured it would be a lot smarter to get a feel for the campus ahead of time. It's about a half hour bus ride from the city, way up north, and it's all new developments, brand spanking new houses that look kind of out of place. Everything's just so NEW! But the university looks cool, I was a bit heat-dazed because the thermometer hit around 40 degrees celsius today and there was very little shade among all these new buildings. I do feel a lot better having gone there ahead of time though, much more prepared for scholarly success! Now, if only I had a proper book bag haha.
I also went to get my hair did today by a lovely girl named Katie. She was so much fun! Usually I like to bury my nose in a magazine and just zone out until the process is finished but we chatted nearly the entire time, she told me about some great vintage shops and bars I should check out. And she had so many questions about Canada...well, "the states" as she kept calling it, and she kept calling me an American, no matter how many times I tried to correct her lol. When she saw me drinking my green tea with a spoon she even asked if that was a Canadian thing. Hahaha, I'm weird.
Anywho, tonight there is a house party that Diego invited me to and apparently it's right in my neighborhood which is excellent because after all the heat-drenched walking I'm feeling decidedly lethargic.
Here's some Mawson Lake:
My classes are this building-I hope there's a real planetarium!
note all the scary looking warning stickers on the glass behind!
