O Week

O Week, or Orientation week just happened and it was full of fun!  The first day was quite routine with lots of sessions talking about saftey, class structure and academic topics.  The second day of O week we went on tours and walked around our large green campus, and also got more information from clubs and organizations about how to get involved... so far myself and a few friends signed up for the Ultimate Frisbee team!  Free play starts tonight!!!!!  We went on a Winery tour of the Hunter Valley which is very similar to Sonoma Valley in California!  Its only 45 minutes away from school, so we all got on a bus and went to 2 winerys and 1 brewery!  It was alot of fun, and it was very pretty in hunter valley!  I didnt like most of the wine, but I had 2 favorites that were both desert wines!  I didnt like anything at the brewery, Im not a fan of beer, but it was still a blast!  

At the Brewery they gave us 6 samples, I tried them all but ended up giving them all way to the guys!  

Thursday of O week was our day to do whatever we wanted... which meant I slept in!  I also then walked around campus, and then ended up being a couch potato with an aussie friend and we watched the Amazing Race on TV!  

** Fun Side Note: Most TV shows that are in America show over here, they are just delayed by about a month or two, so I will be able to watch So You Think You Can Dance, because its just starting over here!  

On the last day of O week we went to Blackbutt Reserve and once again played with Koalas, kangaroos and I fell in mud!  

Look Closley at the picture, theres a Joey on the Mama Koalas back!  It was soo cute!  

We walked around blackbutt, and yes I went exploring, and stepped into a big mud bog, and got it all over my shoes and pants, but luckily as soon as we got back home I threw them in the washer and everything came off!
