It has now been 4 days since my arrival at Bond University, and I must say that all the hype did not disappoint. It is still the end of the Australian "winter" and they are now heading into springtime, which has meant beautiful sunny days on a campus that more closely resembles an exclusive resort than a college campus.
A list of a few of the essential tips for a good semester at Bond:
-"Goon" = boxed wine, and also the only affordable option for any amount of drinking
-Gold Coast is the Australian equivalent of Las Vegas, and is host to a large number of casinos, nightclubs, and resorts
-There are sharks in the ocean, as well as in all the lakes/canals/ rivers running through the area
-Surfing is a normal daytime activity
-Australians, although a very laidback population, are sticklers for rules and are even less likely to make exceptions for Americans
-Dancing etiquette is far different than in the US, and let's just say that the Australian version of dancing is far closer to the real thing than what the kids are doing in the states now a days.
-Although I will only have classes on Mondays and Tuesdays, apparantly I am still expected to get work done
Classes commence Monday...... gear up for the weekend mates!
