UTS Orientation/Aquarium

Hey guys!! Right now it's around 1:30 on Wednesday and I'm on campus at UTS for their big orientation day. Today is when all of the clubs set up booths throughout the main tower building, I joined the photography club; they have trips to different parts of sydney for photoshoots, so i'm hoping it'll help me take more and better pictures.
In other news we went to the aquarium yesterday, which is right on darling harbour, it's a very nice walk there, it goes right past the chinese gardens and all these parks and cafes that are next to the water. I really love living here, it's a beautiful city with a lot to offer anyone. The only major setback is that things here are more expensive and australia is so big so it's difficult to explore the whole country...we do get a 2 week break in april and my friends and I are thinking about either going to thailand or new zealand... We'd all love to go to thailand and it's decently cheap to stay there but the flight would be around $1,000, new zealand would be a lot cheaper to get to and a couple of us have friends there so we might be able to stay with them...we still have a little while to decide.
Well I think i'm going to head back to my room, it's the hottest part of the day right now (it's probably around 82 F. today, which is actually about 5-10 degrees warmer than it has been, although all of the locals I've talked to have said that this is one of the worst summers they've seen, so it's normally a lot nicer out I guess. Bye everyone!!

I'm glad you finally started this blog so I can keep up with your international escapades. Are you going to post some pictures soon?

I will but there's a problem accessing wireless on campus with my computer, and it would be too expensive to go to an internet cafe and upload the pictures from there.
