University has officially started! While most universities around Queensland went back to classes last week, the pretty buildings of the University of Queensland opened its' doors to learning today. while this has meant a wonderful extra week of holidays I am very happy to be back.

-OK, so I lied, UQ actually had its' orientation week last week, but I decided that I was a super mature second year student that was far too cool to mingle with the first years and learn about where the toilets are.-

So I arrived at Uni today at 12.10pm which left me a roomy 50 minutes to find where my lecture would be at 2pm and where on campus institute would be at 1pm. I looked at my time table and saw that my lecture was in a theater where I had lectures last year. Unfortunately it was a rather poky place so I ambled around and eventually found it again. By this stage I was like a feeling pretty confident second year University student. Then I easily found where my institute class would be and even found a toilet.

Having achieved all I needed to before my institute class I decided to wander over to the Union Complex and see if there was anyone I knew.

Suddenly I no longer felt like the mature second year student I thought I was... Not only could I not find anyone I knew in the heaving mass of students, it turns out that over my 100 days of holidays, the university had been transformed. with all new refurbishments I certainly felt just like a first year student again.

There is however one difference between me and me as a first year student, I now know the benefit of a good time table and just how quick you have to be to get the tutorial that you want. That is why I have been waiting in the library for the past hour for my tutorial signon to open. Which should be in five minutes.

Wish me luck!
