Uni

That’s what the Aussies call it. So I really do go to school, really. I even have my dissertation topic finalized but I will save that for another post. Flinders University is up on a hill with a beautiful view of the ocean. When I asked the campus fitness people if they had a pool this is what they pointed me to.

Now the locals talk about the beautiful lake on campus. It is picturesque, but to me does not compare to that other body of water.And like all Universities there is a ‘quad’.

My Faculty has not had any welcoming so to speak but the International Students Association takes good care of us ‘foreigners’. There is always something going on and for example I was at ‘afternoon tea’ yesterday. I see other students shopping, on the bus and in the neighbourhood but I don’t fit the demographic in terms of age and nationality, so I am invisible to them. Here is where I hang out every day. You will notice my owls (thanks Jen) and the ‘surfer girl’ calendar (thanks Gail)!

And here is my class, looks like Canada eh?
