a new lease

ive survived 10 days without internet..
well, i had my iphone, so does it count?

its only been a little over a week,
but so much has happened since.

a new surrounding,
a new lifestyle,
new friends and basically, everything.

ive got to admit,
the first few days were hard.
getting lost, unfamiliar with the ways of the locals here,
without being able to call someone i already know,
to ask for help.

but eventually,
it all turned out pretty well.
n ive gotta say,
if nth else,
just smile.
ull be surprised how far a smile can take u.

we've had scavenger hunts, drinks,
lawn bowling,
speed dating,
trivia games,
karaoke,
pub crawling,
just to name the main ones.

tiring, but fun nonetheless,
met really interesting people over the week,
all from very different backgrounds,
but somehow,
we can all get along just fine.

maybe cos there r only 98 of us,
oh, n of those, only 2 are internationalll!!
meeepsss.

im excited to be given these new lease.
to start all over again.
so much to learn, both academically and socially and culturally.
even the lectures have been really very intriguing.

cant wait for toga night,
moonlight cinema,
n street partyyyyy!
before the tough stuff begins!

weeeeeeee....
