Weeeelll...

to put it bluntly, no beating around the bush, today was my first day at uni. that would be monash uni, clayton campus. just orientation though, classes don't start until next week. doing a bachelor of engineering

today was quite compulsory, even though there was nothing 'life or death' that happened, really.
the only real main reason we had to go was because of the 'campus welcome', which i guess wasn't so bad. it was the 'first vice-chancellors welcome with no vice chancellor', because he was coming back from the monash campus in south africa.

anyways, way before that even happened, i had a fair bit of time to kill...say, 90 minutes...and there were some posters/flyers whatever here and there about sign-ups and auditions for...the Monash University Student Theatre, both backstage crew, and for roles. so i head over to their office, sign up for backstage, and just as i finish, a girl comes walking out, spots me signing up, exclaims 'awesome!' introduces herself and drags me around, through to their performance hall, introducing me to everyone as 'a new tech' which they were all pretty excited about. Their hall is this wonderful little place, only room for maybe about 50 or so people on the seats, with lighting racks all across the roof, in a squarish criss-cross, and a balcony over one side, from where they run all the equipment. so it appears that this club, that i wasn't really too sure what would happen about, has already taken me under their wing . anyways, this semester/term they're performing the picture of dorian grey, clockwork orange, and a few other things, so i'll HAVE to get involved somewhere...

then after that, and after i started talking in long, dull sentences...was the welcome, and after that was the very limited 'faculty related' tour...there was only 3 stops, and most people should have known them already.

after that i just sorta bummed around a bit, got some lunch, logged on to the uni network, did some other dull things...you know, being under 18, i'm not allowed to access the internet? well, at least not without a parental permission form! how stupid, old enough to go to uni, but not old enough to use the net? and it seems to suck even more, because my 18th is just 7 days away!

on another note (geez, how many ways can there be to change topic? not enough!) i just received my timetable...it's customizable, to a point, and its arranged so that i have monday completely off! but then i have to start at 8am, wed-fri. might do a little bit of swapping and stuff...no one will notice/care!

umm...okay, after that long, dull post, i think it's time to say goodnight to everybody, and that at this time, my ramblings might be a little confuzzled, so i may be back to change things later
