Hallie and I woke up bright and early to head up the hill towards Kelburn campus. We live about a mile downhill, and it is rather steep! I don't have class until 4:10 on Mondays, but I had some things to sort out and I wanted to explore. There were sooo many people! It's really overwhelming to go to a real university after attending Wells. The vibe was really cool though - the end of summer, music playing, and barbeques on campus.

| A serious hill. And this is only like 1/4 of our journey. |
After hanging out all day, I headed to my Spanish class - the only class of the day. It was pretty basic, and I met some cool people. After we were done for the day, it was time to walk back down the hill. The walk down is much more fun than the walk up!
My second day of class did not go so well. I had two classes - Topics in Environmental Science and Earth Structures and Deformations. Besides the two 50 minute classes, I also had labs which I didn't know about! Each class has 50 minute sessions, then 100-ish minute labs each week. I had no idea the 3 classes I'm signed up for would take so much time! It didn't help that my Deformations Lab today was wicked hard.

| My schedule so far. Not too bad! |
It feels nice to be back in school. It's a little weird to be taught by a kiwi, in a room full of kiwis, but I like it, and I'm getting used to it. These 4 months are going to fly by!
Today was Census day. How ironic that the first census I fill out is in a different country! I supported gender diversity with this census by ticking both the 'male' and 'female' boxes. It's time we start recognizing all the different genders out there!

| Census time! |
In other news, my family arrived home at 7am (my time) Monday morning. That equates to almost 55 hours of travel time! Ouch!
