Who's Afriad of the Big Bad?

Day One: Survived!

Today marked the first day of university! A whole new era, a big new world, something i've never done before and a whole new lot of things to a) be scared of and b) explore. I'm yet to decide whether or not i'm on board with this whole trying-new-things thing. I know i'm only young, but i am most definately set in my ways. Like a grandma who spends all of her time in a rockin chair with a crochet knee-rug and little glasses who watches 'Sale of the Century' every day at 4pm. But i'm not a granny, i'm a teenager and i'm supposed to be living the semi-wild uni life. I don't even know where the uni bar is! Let alone having someone to go there with :P

As a uni, Flinders rocks. Better teachers, better staff, better campus, better credentials. I love it there. As a little first year running around that beautiful campus, it's scary as hell. There are about three other Walford girls there, one of whom does my course. There are a handful of others i know my face; friends of friends and friends boyfriends, old walford girls and a couple of randoms. But on the whole, it's pretty much a lone-wolf operation. Except for one poor boy who's been saddled with finding me when i'm lost, meeting me for lunch to save me from eating alone, alternatively panicking and calming me about the huge amount of work i've got to do. But i'm hoping that other equaly-freaked first years will bond with me in our mutual distress.

I think that, on some level, i'm excited about this year's study. I like learning new things! And there's no maths involved so maybe i'll do ok. But not for another week or so :P As for the moment? I'm just trying to figure out whether a combined degree means that i have two majors or not. You see, i'm doing law/behavioural science. But i don't know if i'm majoring in behavioural science! If i am, i have one exam. If i'm not, then i have another. And i can't figure it out! But, one hurdle at a time. As for now, i've got books and a parking permit and by friday i'll have my student id. So i'll focus on the simple pleasures!

You know, writing things down helps to calm me. It's better to put it down somewhere than to keep it all in my head. My poor head isn't big enough to keep everything in there - and i need more room for uni information! So hopefully, the blog will pick back up again soon.

Wish me luck for tomorrow!
