Here are a few things I have learned since I arrived at Wagga.
1. There is an unhealthy obsession with plastic cheese. You know the kind that comes in slices (sometimes indevidualy rapped). At first I thought that the University was just saving time, but when I got a burger at a cafe and there was plastic cheese on it I realised the truth. WAGGA IS OBSESSED WITH PLASTIC CHEESE!!! May I ad that I don't like said Cheese.
2. Wednesday night seems to be the night that all Uni functions (piss-ups) are on. Strainge day to choose if you ask me, though I don't have any classes on Thursday until one so really it hasen't been too much of a problem. For me anyway, though I don't drink much so the main problem is the noise when the others com back at 1,2,3,4,5 (pick your choice of A.M. times).
3. The bus into town is $1. Not to exciting you say, well the Bus back from town is also $1, UNLESS you go via South campus residences then it will cost you $2. However if you think this is a rip off you can go to the other side of the road and wait 25mins (not that I knew it would be that long) and catch the SAME bus as you as you would have got on before that went to South Campus and only spend $1.
This may sound like a rant, and that would be because it is. STUPID BUS!!!!!!!!
Anyway here is a new count down clock for you all. YAY HARRY POTTER!
PS: send me post, I like letters. Email me if you want my PO Box. Love to all.

Welcome To Wagga Wagga!
Hi All,
Well here i am in Wagga!
I have been a long time in getting here but I have finaly made it. I am having a good time so far and have made some good friends. I seem to be older than most of the people in my building (all 70 something of them) but no one seems to beleive me. Weird that?! There are twelve first years in my course and no one elce in the university seems to be entierly sure what it is that we do. Some thing that did surprise me is the lack of boys doing the course. There are TWO. One in first year and one in second year, the third years dont have one.
My Room is small-ish, about the size of the floor space of my room at home for all those who have seen it, but my room here has a desk in it taking up space. I could be worse, it is a bit old and beat up but there are rumors that they are taring this hall down next year so we are all doing what we want to the rooms. I will post a picture of my room for you later (I don't have any yet).
Las Wednesday was 'Toga Night' which is exactly what it sounds like, a night when we all dress up in togas. Thought it is good to go as a group with a theme. Some of the girls from Doman (my hall) and I went as 'Surviver Doman' I have atached a picture.
(Cat, Gemma, Amy, Lauren, Tania, Tess and ME!)
It was a good night except that I was a bit sick and lost my voice by the end of the night.
I will post more when I have another chance and some more pictures.
Stay well! (Now that I have kicked the traditional first year first week of class cold I hope I will stay well too!)
