before going out last night, i randomly got online to check my class schedule again and realized ONE spot had opened in an earlier lab on thursdays... i snagged it immediately SO I DON'T HAVE 6-9 LAB! so i get to join scuba club! AAAHHHHHHH so exciting!!!!!!!!!!! i still have class that day from 8-5 without a single break (looks like i'll be living off of granola bars on thursdays), but i get to look forward to dive club at the end of those horrendous days!!!!
hit the bars last night downtown with 2 aussie girls, dianne from DU and a guy from new zealand. we took the bus there (super barf) but took the ferry back. picture floating down the river with the stars above you and the city lit up around you.
today i meant to sleep in, but jet lag is still in effect--woke up at 6:30 after going to bed at 2. ahh. dianne and i wandered around campus and found the pool (with a big grassy area to lay out nearby... however, you have to pay to use it! how lame is that?), a couple lakes with fountains that i'm sure will be my new study areas, and the tennis courts (filled with cute aussie guys hitting). then we took the ferry downtown again to explore in the daylight. we got lunch and then wandered the shops. i found a LUSH shop, but sadly they are not hiring, so there goes that job plan :( we found some hysterical and random souvenir shops complete with kangaroo claw bottle openers (literally, they took the claws off kangaroos and attached bottle openers... so gross), koala backpacks, and inappropriate australian calendars. then we took the ferry back to campus.
once i arrived back, i checked my class schedule again and got into chem lab i wanted to as well! and yet again, i snagged the LAST opening. luck is on my side. still means 7 hours of class on tuesdays, but yet again, better times.
man. plus it's been sunny and in the 70's all week (except at night) so i'm totally digging that. so lovely. i'm leaving you with a link to some pics i've taken so far...

i forget that patience is a virtue. you're teaching me to hold on tight. and i don't know how the story ends, but i'll be alright 'cause you wrote it. and i don't know where the highway bends but i'm doing just fine 'cause you're in control. even when i don't know where my life's gunna go, you're keeping me guessing. so slow me down, show me around. i wanna see the world that i've been without. i am here and now; the future is out of my hands. i'm trusting you and how you move. i won't forget that patience is a virtue. you're teaching me to hold on tight. --francesca battistelli
