Thursday we registered for classes in the morning. I got into the classes that I really wanted which I was really happy about. They do class really weird here though. I'm taking four classes: Outdoor Education, Music and Children, Mathematics and Education, and Economics. However, instead of have Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Tuesday, Thursday classes, they only have one day for lecture a week and then maybe a tutorial another day. So I have class Monday through Thursday, but Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday I only have one class for the whole day. I feel like I am going to have so much free time!! Nicole, Emy, and I are trying to figure out how our schedules work together so we can find time to go on a walk everyday and travel on the weekends.
After registration we had morning tea with the mayor. She was a really neat lady and it was nice to chat with her. We also got to try some pastries that are common in Australia. My favorite was this cookie sort of thing. It was like a shortbread cookie with strawberry icing and coconut sprinkles. Yummy! I also tried vegemite again. This time it wasn't so bad. They had it on a large saltine cracker with butter and vegemite. The butter helped the taste a lot.
Later that afternoon we went bowling. They called it ten pin bowling rather than just bowling, but it was exactly the same as we do it in America. Of course we turned it into a little competition, boys against girls. Unfortunately the girls lost :(
That evening we went out and met some more Aussies. We had a great night!
