After a few days of touring Sydney and its surrounds, my parents left me at Newcastle where I begin my school orientation. It was quite disappointing as there wasn't any icebreaker activities, most of it were talks and intro to the school surroundings. But I was glad I met Bel and Adele, who are fellow Singaporeans and we quickly became really good friends. We all live nearby on campus and I would go to Bel's place for weekday lunches where we'll share cooking chores and groceries. Adele is my dinner buddy and we'll often meet to go dining hall together and she often bakes/ cooks delicious stuff for us and guides me for my keyboard module. Lucky me to have met them both.
I was provided with 16 meals a week in Edwards hall, but breakfast was kind of the same everyday with cereal, toast and yoghurt, weekend brunch will always be what was left over the entire week or cold sandwich, other then that, dinner was pretty decent. Mixed-gender toilet there was like new thing to me, was quite weird to go into a toilet and see a female.
My school is located in the suburbs, and on campus you can see lots of trees, birds: parrots, ducks, etc and I really enjoyed the peace. School was like a breeze because I only needed to pass, also I was having a 3 day work week, which gives me lots of free time to travel, gym and do my own things.
