I don’t wanna get fat!

The past few days have passed well enough. I suppose to a certain extent I have tried not to stick out like a sore thumb. Also the fact that I’m one the few Asians around make me feel all the more self-conscious.

I spent a lot of time on Wednesday enrolling in my courses. I had so much problems and I think I’ve only just begun to understand the working customs of the Australians. At times I almost wanted to scream at them.

On Wednesday night we had a “Back to School” party. It was held in town near Civic station. I did actually force myself to come out. The fact that I did have something to wear had nothing to do with it. I think I looked pretty good. Ha.

It was cheap though – the beer was only three bucks and trains another three (only coz we didn’t pay on the way to Civic – the machine was spoilt.)
Right now, parties seem all around, the next upcoming one being the toga party, which I think, will be fun. Then there’s the 3Ps – Prostitutes, Pimps and Porn. Now that’d be something to talk about!

Tomorrow there’s this speed-dating thing at night. We’re having it only because it’s Valentine’s Day. (The speed dating was a horror. The noise, the forced conversations. Bleah!)

I don’t wanna grow fat! The way these people eat! The way I’ve been eating at dinners. I don’t like it! (Oh, today, Sunday, I had macaroni and cheese for dinner! One of those you pour out form a packet and mix with water. It was super unhealthy, but super yummy.)
