It's Friday!

Today, I woke up and went to the student centre to sign up for the Northwest Trip that the study abroad and exchange students can go on. It is a trip during either the first or second non-teaching weeks to the outback and west coast of Western Australia. I really wanted to go, and the doors opened at 8:30, but we couldn't sign up until 9. I went at 8:45, but totally underestimated the number of people that would be in line so early! I can only go on the first one because I have a field exercise for my biology class during the second break, but when it got to me the first trip was already full! I told him that I have to go during the first one, and he told me to have my lecturer email him, and then he'd email me a list of the names of people going on the first one so that I can try to switch with someone. I really hope that I can find someone because the Northwest trip is one of the reasons that I chose Murdoch over other schools in Australia!
After signing up, I went to the bookstore to see if they had the books for one of my classes yet, but they didn't. I then went outside of my next classroom and waited until the class before us got out. I had the second lecture of my biology class today, and we talked about the importance of statistics in biology and randomized samples. It was extremely boring, since I had just taken stats last semester and it was boring then! After class, I came back and I think I just watched tv online all afternoon and evening. I feel like I must have done something else, but I don't think I did. I found a site that I can watch my American tv on, so I spent the day catching up on Psych, SYTYCD, Royal Pains, and an episode of Mythbusters. Tomorrow will be more exciting because I'm doing things with CIEE. Oh, and Paul also started a flickr group for all of the CIEE students this semester at Murdoch to join and post pictures, but so far I'm the only one. Here's a link if you want to view others' photos (that is if anyone else joins and posts!) http://www.flickr.com/groups/cieefall2010/.
