I have some new lingo for ya:
"Cup o' two SM," meaning a cup of tea with sugar and milk. People drink tea A LOT here, and if you order tea, it's automatically going to be hot. If you want cold tea, you have to specify you want it iced.
"Under the thumb," meaning whipped or under control. I like this one.
"Over it," meaning you're sick of something.
"In the 9's." This can also be "in the 10's," etc. It just means something happened in that hour. For instance, I just got home from our dorm dinner, so I'm home in the 9's.
You never hear people say "cell phone," either. It's always a "mo-bile."
It's fun to have so many people interested in America. When I talk to some people, they just look at me like they've never seen anything like it. Last night, a girl found out I'm not from around here and her eyes got wide.
*Gasp* "Where else are you from?!" That was amusing...
Today I had my first criminal justice class. It was incredibly boring. Myles is in my class, though, so at least I know someone. I bought textbooks and it only came to $200 for all my courses. One course doesn't have a textbook, two of them only have one book and the last class only requires these enormous course packets that were fairly cheap. I found out one of my tutorials will only be every other week as well, which is awesome.
Oh, and I tried going to the gym. I was all "pumped" about going, I got on the treadmill and 12 minutes and five seconds later, the gym closed. It closes for an hour every day and of course I went 12 minutes and five seconds before closing time. Oh well, it's not like I don't walk 20 minutes each way to class.
I also attempted to do my laundry. $2 to wash and that went fine, but once I loaded the dryer and put in my $1.60, it ate my money and didn't start. I had to hang everything up in my room. Myles gave me an ice pop to compensate for my eaten buck sixty.
Surprisingly, I'm enjoying dorm life. There's always someone around. I don't think I'll be heading to the beach quite yet, but there's a Bathurst Festival this weekend, so there's still something to look forward to.
