Tierd girl.

It's nearly the end of the week...nearly. I had my first HUBS lab today, that was fun! Overwize it was just a busy, tiering day. SLEEP.

Fresher Flu.

Here's a soundscape of my lectures today........ chatter, chatter, chatter, silence as lecturer begins to speak etc. 5 mins later.... "the use of electron microscopes 'cough' in micro-'cough' biology has revolutionised 'cough, cough...cough' the way we 'cough' can investigate cells." And so this cough chorus continued for the rest of the lecture. The explanation this disturbance, the dreaded fresher flu. I personally have NOT contracted it yet but it is highly probable that I will soon. :( My only defence are a container of multi-vitiams and sleep. Let's hope it's enough to hold it off for awhile!

Actual start.

Tomorrow is officially my first day of university as lectures commence. How do I feel about this? Excited, nervous, slightly apprehensive and full of expectation. UNIVERSITY is upon me, no going back from here.

No more life.

So, Keron the "academic mentor" recently let the college know we should be "pre-reading" 4to 6 hours a day before our lectures even start. Ok if you think that's bad he informs us that next week when lecture begin we will be doing academic related work for 10-16 hours a day! When does that leave time  to eat, sleep enough, shower, exercise and just generally relax? I don't know but I'll keep you updated. lol save us please.

Official.

So after approximately 2.5 hours of standing in lines for signatures, computer input and my student ID photo I am officially course approved! And I have my student ID as proof of my efforts....

Now I'm off to dinner (which to my relief does include salads and vegetables and not just carbs) and than to a welcome presentation and finally a hypnotist show. Fun in sunny Dunedin.

Show your face to the morning.

I am HERE. Not much has happened yet... I still haven't unpacked fully in my little cupboard room: number 208. The city lights glow orange-yellow out my window if I crock my neck and squint my eyes a little. I've put up some photos and now to sleep.

One more night.

One more night until uni and I'm half packed, calm and it still feels quite surreal. I'm not sad about leaving home really just apprehensive about all the unknowns. Will the hall work out? Will I make good friends? Will the course be too challenging? etc. etc. etc. We are good at pretending we have it all together when really our insides are going at 100 miles a minute trying to figure things out, but thats ok it's better than not feeling at all. So I'm all poised at the end of the metaphorical diving board, about to jump in.

Start.

So here I am..... at the start. 3 days until I start my university adventure and navigate the waters of health sci, hall life and most importantly student life. Plunge in head first... I have no choice. We'll see how it goes.
