Enrollment Day

Today I enrolled in my courses for the semester. I had to get up early and stand in a line, then get my visa checked, then went and talked with an advisor in the College of Sciences department. She helped me out with 3 psychology courses, and then I decided to take my 4th course on web-site building. I thought that might help me in the future. Once I was enrolled, I was given a user name and password, and told to go to the library to activate my email address and get a student ID. Yay! Now I am officially enrolled at ANU and have an ID and email and everything!

Then we went to the International students Sausage Sizzle, this cookout they are having every day this week for us. It is basically free food and they had a vegetarian patty. We met some new people, and I got sun burnt. My shoulders are very red.

Then, Jessica and I went to town to try and get our proof of Age cards. We walked all the way to the city library, only to be told we needed proof of where we live. So we had to walk all the way back to Toad Hall, where Jessica lives, and we each got letterhead and a letter stating where we live on campus. We made our way back, in the rain, to the library, and finally were able to get our cards. Yay! I have an Australian ID! Now, I have FIVE forms of ID hahaha. That's not including my passport. The ID is basically so I don't have to carry my passport around and risk loosing it.

We then went shopping a bit at the city centre and then to dinner at Wagamama, which was very good. I have leftovers here, but no fridge, so darn :(.

I have quickly realized the disadvantage of the PedEgg. It takes the protection off the bottom of your feet, and now my feet are not ready for flip flops. I have been in so much pain in my feet the past few days, because there is no callus on them. I walk everywhere here, if I don't loose some weight or get somewhat more fit, then I give up haha. I came back to my room after dinner and have been sitting here, too tired to move ever since. Tomorrow morning is the bus tour!
