First Day of Class

Today was my first official day of school here at JCU. I stayed up late to talk to the parents and then slept in because my first class today was at 1pm. I was woken up by housekeeping and answered the door half asleep, but managed to ask her if there was something that could be done about the horrific smell in my room. She proceeded to talk about how horrible the guy was that lived here before me and when i mentioned it smelled like he smoked in here it didn't surprise her. She told me to get some rest and that she would come back next monday (even though they only clean twice a month every other monday) to try giving my room an extra thorough cleaning. After that little encounter I got up and showered and ate lunch by myself. That kinda sucked, but I saw the water polo guy there and he said he'd open the pool up today from 1 to 6 and that he'd put some balls in so we could throw around and whatnot. I told him i'd be there around 5 only realizing after our conversation that I have class from 5 to 6. Oh well, I might go there now because my photography lecture and practical finished REALLY early today because it was the first day.

Speaking of photography, I already love that class. My professor is this tall skinny guy with a long face and a very prominent beak nose. He has very VERY curly chin length ringlets, but it is cut so that the sides of his head are buzzed and it is longer at the top. Based on his accent he is DEFINITELY a spanish speaker and I'm pretty sure hes from venezuela. Anywho, Raul seems like he is going to be a really cool professor and he spent a good portion of class cracking jokes. So far so good, I have coral reef ecology and Biodiversity of Tropical australia later today and hopefully they will be just as excellent as photography was.

I still haven't heard from the other dorm seeing if I can transfer yet, but hopefully I will get word soon. Once again, keep those fingers crossed!
