Notebooks, pencils, binders

9/23/2012

Yesterday Flor, Nathalie and I went into the city center to do some shopping. We went to Wilkensons which is as close to a Target as I’m going to get here. I finally bought pots and pans! I can make food now! Yay! I also got a hair dryer and hair straightener since mine haven’t worked since I’ve been here.  I’m excited to finally be able to straighten my hair! It’s been in a ponytail for far too long.

After shopping we dropped of our purchases and went to go find some dinner. We all had coupons for free personal pizzas at dominos so we went there. Free dinner is always the best dinner. It was pretty nice out so we went and ate at St. Georges cathedral, which has now been turned into a lecture hall. It’s a really pretty church and the grounds are nice as well.

My friend Lisa and I were planning on seeing Harry potter 7 at the union theatre that night so I got ready and headed to the union. I arrived and waited outside the theatre for her. I was waiting around for a while and was getting a bit concerned when the movie was starting and she still wasn’t there. After about half hour of waiting I went back to opal. Turns out that she had gotten stuck at the mall and was late getting back. So we’ve decided to go get coffee sometime this week to catch up.

Today Cindy and I ventured out on the hunt for school supplies. We went to WHSmith in the city center, which is kind of like a staples and a borders mixed together and then condensed.  We realized that no matter where we go notebooks were outrageously expensive. In the states you can get a notebook for like a dollar. Here a single subject notebook cost us like 3 pounds. So we sucked it up and bought our notebooks as well as various other school supplies. We walked around the city for a bit until heading back to opal.

I’m kind of nervous for classes tomorrow, it’s my first ever graduate class! Eek! I’m terrified I’m going to say or do something stupid and they’ll like kick me out of the country.  But I guess it’s normal to be nervous on the first day of school. At least I have my first day outfit all picked out J
