It was my first day of actual classes. My first class, Conserving Tropical Rainforests was at 9. Seemed interesting. We each had to pick a seminar topic we will be presenting, I chose something on environmental ethics, deep ecology, and how it relates to the rainforest. Went back, had lunch, then went to Agroecology. It was a video lecture but we had the lecturer with us and we saw the Townsville campus students on TV, so weird. The lecturer is pretty cool but after I had to talk to him about something and he told me a nice bunch of tips: Australians enjoy pulling Americans' legs, they're gonna tear the "mickey" out of me, Americans are not as aware of the rest of the world as the rest of the world is, and that I had to get used to Australian's brusque sense of humor. He was very nice but I did kind of feel like a stupid American. Because of this chat I walked in late to my next class, Conservation Biology, this time a video lecture based in Townsville. Seemed alright, nothing too special.
After class, I got on the bus with some friends and went to Trinity Beach for a BBQ for my friend Chelsea's birthday. (So many birthdays I know.) I got some pretty pictures walking on the beach.
Me!
Yes I really do have friends!
I am so glad you have friends but I knew that you did. You are so wonderful
