I reminded myself today why I don’t do mornings and why until my first coffee I’m really not awake properly. Jumped on the train about 7am this morning after rousing the little one for a kiss on the cheek and a huggle and the morning “I love you” and off I went. Stopped off at a coffee shop along the way to uni to get my morning caffine fix and by the time I got to class I was coherent. I have two days that have 8am lectures during the week so no doubt I’ll get used to it. Tomorrows classes start at 1pm and go through till 5pm.

*Remind self to take snacks .. noms*

First thing I was greeted with was a room FULL of Macs. I think I died and went to heaven. Fucking awesome and the Macs are only for the Art & Design Students use so no scrambling for a comp as there are two classes full of about 50 Macs each and readily available to students needing to work. The tutors are awesome. We spent the morning pissing about with the basics so I sat there pretty bored and amused at all the students who didn’t have their shit together and at least three quarters of the class didn’t have their logins or had no idea what any of it was all about. Note to self: those are the ones who haven’t yet learnt to think independently. *sigh*

Second realisation today. I am the oldest student in my class haha. No surprise there really. Actually I think I may just be the same age or older than one of my tutors teehee. We got split into smaller groups today and I met the team of students I’ll be working with for the rest of the year. It’s a good bunch of kids and the whole atmosphere was relaxed. Tomorrow three more classes and Wednesday the lectures and assignments begin.

I am sooo getting a freekin ipod to drown out all the noise and join the masses of unsociable music loving peoples at uni. Heh.

Lunch was weird. I buggered off after our last class just after lunch and went wandering in the city so I can get my bearings. Found the art & design supplies store and *squeeeeed* O.M.G …. I found heaven AGAIN! Soooo many arty farty things, it’s become a favourite shop. Found a cafe and grabbed a bite to eat and sat outside, read some shit and then noticed a homeless guy sat at one of the tables near me. He sat there and literally watched me eat and then watched me intently while I had a ciggy. It was kinda creepy. So I fucked off outta there and went wandering again.

Picked the little one up from after school care and he’d had an awesome time, infact he was busy hooning around on a go kart and didn’t wanna stop hehe.

All in all it was a good day but I am itching to get past all the introductory stuff and get stuck in. I have reading lists and pdf’s to peruse tonight and some stuff at home to catch up on.

I am now officailly a bonafide uni student.

I think I now want a Mac …. ‘beams’
