Hello!!
So the past few days have been busy/ chaotic but at the same time wonderful. Last night, I finally received my luggage. I was so happy, words could not express. I went three days without having anything on me, which made it hard to get by but it feels great to have all of my belongings with me again.
Two nights ago we had a cocktail party for the new students at ICMS. It was awesome. Free champagne, wine, beer, mimosas and awesome hors d'oeuvres. You can never go wrong with free booze. The best thing about the campus is that there are students from all over the world. Everyone is so nice and friendly and it is easy to meet new people. After the cocktail party, we all headed out to Shark Bar, which was awesome. There were about 200 students from ICMS who went there and we drank, danced, had a good time and got to know each other.
Yesterday, I had to get my suit fitted. It took forever to wait in line. We are supposed to get our business suits the second week of class so once classes start up, we are supposed to wear "business casual" until we get our suits. Blah :(
The weather outside was absolutely gorgeous. I didn't have time to go down to the beach (also, let me note, at the time I didn't have to swim suit to lay out in the sun) but I was out in the court yard for about an hour and I already got some sun!!! I can't believe I am going to be living in paradise for 3 months... I feel like I'm in a dream and I am about to wake up.
Last night, we had a man who was similar to Steve Irwin come in and show us exoctic animals that exist in Australia. He showed us several snakes, a lethal spider!! and an alligator!! I took plently of pictures so I will post them in a few days.
Oh, and I will you guys up to date on the Aussie lingo:
Pitcher of Beer = Jug of Beer
You're welcome = No worries
Sunglasses = Sunnies
Rooting = Sleeping with ( in a sexual conantation) *I learned this the hard way after I said I root for the Chicago Bears
Good times = Happy days
Breakfast = Breakie
Sidewalk = Foot walk
To my Grand Valley friends:
I heard Grand Valley closed school today because of the school... I'm sorry, I feel for you! If it makes you feel any better, it rained today.
Love you all and miss you!
Happy days! Cheers!
