First Day of School

So back to the life of a student.... Ahh, nothing like it. I'm already forgetting how to push the buttons. So we have survived one week of being back in the groove of studying... Well - I have studied, Reuben - not so much. You might have noticed that Reuben's first blog coincided with the beginning of "study". Interesting... Procrastinating begins. Here's some very pansy pictures of us on our first day going to college with our backpacks on. How embarassing.

After one week of greek, I've discovered that having a greek surname really hasn't helped me as much as I had hoped. Surely being married to someone with actual greek heritage in their blood would mean some greek speak would slip into my brain through osmosis. Sadly not. It's going okay, I now know a lot of fancy words like declension, article, and pronoun. Well, maybe pronoun is not so fancy.

We've just come back this weekend from the 1st year weekend away, at a place called Port Hacking. The campsites over here are awesome. Sorry, but heaps better than adelaide ones! One of the first things I saw when I walked in was a crazy looking coffee machine. No International Dirt for us! And... they have a full on waterslide. Like, this thing goes for metres! It was way too cold to use it, only the mentally unstable did this, but it was a cool feature anyway. It was a tiring, but good weekend. We got to know a lot of people a little bit, and a few people a little bit more. We got to know our first year group, who we will apparently be spending a lot of time with, and going on mission with in a short while.

Must go learn greek now.

hey! procrastinating?!!

The reason I started blogging then is that stuff was actually happening! ...i couldn't imagine anyone being interested in us unpacking boxes...

Glad to hear things are going well and you are (so far) enjoying college and Sydney life! And, yes, Sydney camp sites are much better - imagine the shock going in reverse!!
