USYD!

This is the university for me. Granted I get into my course of course! But seriously, I wouldn't mind travelling to Redfern daily, because the adorable cafes and quaint little terraces are just "time to instagram everything" worthy. Thankfully, I refrained myself from doing so today because I have self control. Yes. Anita with self control. So today, I woke up at 7.30, regular school time, so it wasn't too hard (waking up and being punctual are not my strong points) and left the house at 8:20 to get to Cabramatta to buy pork rolls for lunch. Thank goodness I listened to Laurence's advice because the food there was bloody expensive!! Except the free popcorn from the university unions and societies. Such generous people! Due to my professional organising skills, we took the Bankstown line to Redfern. But it was only an extra 10 minute travel time and at least we get to spend more time together :D So we got to Redfern at 9.40 and from there we made our way to the university! The campus was ginormous and bustling with people. The rest of the day went like this:

  • navigated my way to first lecture! surprisingly I didn't get lost!
  • attended the mini Bachelor of Veterinary Science lecture and even stayed back an extra half an hour to ask questions and listen/absorb other people's questions
  • checked out the art gallery (could not interpret the "art")
  • met up with Atharva and visited the Lego Colosseum!
  • met up with the rest of the group to walk around
  • looked through one of those professional telescopes and saw the sun and sun spots
  • made conversation with the guy (hooray for overcoming social awkwardness!!)
  • identified micro-organisms through microscopes
  • caught an insect with a pipette!
  • had a health test (i'm healthy!)
  • sat down on a bench and got approached my the uni photographer and asked Nazif, Alex, Atharva and I to pretend like we're looking at the map so he could photograph us
  • made us squint into the sun so he could take more pictures
  • told us that he was going to use this for next year's open day pamplets D:
  • then he said some guy was going to come over and get us to sign a form of consent
  • ATE LUNCH while listening to a guy MC with a comical voice
  • Went to second lecture, Animal and Vet Bioscience. Seriously, the man was just droning on and on. Even he sounded out of breath! Almost fell asleep a few times ==''
  • Walked to subway to meet up with the group
  • Stopped at the silly putty stand to play with it...
  • Continued my trek to subway
  • got to subway and waited for the fatties to buy their food
  • walked to the engineering place to make ice cream
  • stole some balloons on the way
  • watched the chemists make yellow strawberry flavoured ice-cream using liquid nitrogen
  • ate the ice cream!
  • made our way back to Redfern station
  • stopped at the park to take photos
  • Krishna gave a cute kid a balloon
  • On the train ride home I sucked in some helium and it.was.awesome!!!
So that was my day :)
