I choose to study at Griffith Univeristy on the Gold Coast because it has everything, that I could possibly want. I'm taking classes for my major. Oh, the fact that it's by a beach, is also another plus.
I'm from a small town on the outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This city is nothing that I could have ever imagined or hope for.
When, I got off the airplane, someone from the Uni, was waiting for me to take me to my apt. He told me to get in front. I got in on the drivers seat. He said "What are you doing?" I said "Oh my gosh! Sorry!" I felt so dumb. I even told myself that I wouldn't do that! Let me just say, that I might not even come home. There's no way that I want to take that 13 hour flight ever again. I flew from Pittsburgh to Chicago, which was an hour and a half. Then, I flew from Chicago to San Francisco, which was 4 hours and a half hours. Then, I flew from San Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand, which was 13 hours! That was the worst flight ever! I couldn't wait to land! I completely skipped February 16th! Finally, I flew from Auckland to the Gold Coast, which was 4 hours. Being on an airplane for that many hours was too much. I still feel jet lagged!
Another thing I noticed is the speed limits are really high. On a back road, it said "70." I started freaking out, then I realized it isn't in mph. It's in km. Oops!
This semester, I wll be staying at an appartment. I have an American and an Australian roommate.
I'm excited to get to learn more about the Australian culture! This semester is going to be amazing!
