Uni

Yesterday was my first day at uni, albeit just an Orientation day (and week). Woke up early and timed myself with the bus so that I would be there around 45 minutes - 1 hour earlier than the opening. Un/Fortunately I got on the O-Bahn bus, the bus that travels through a track, and I was taken to the city in less than half an hour and therefore I was there 1.5 hours earlier than schedule. So I just roamed around the place for a bit.

The VC spoke to us in the Bonython's Hall at 9:30am, the usual stuff and the CEO of Rising Sun Pictures (apparent a graduate of Adelaide University) spoke too. For those who doesn't know, Rising Sun Pictures did the special effects of many Hollywood movies like Harry Potter, The Seeker, Lord of the Rings, the Last Samurai, this and that. I drank a cup of cappuccino and didn't go to the toilet, so I was suffering while listening to the speeches and presentations.

Next was the Con's greeting. It was in the Elder Hall.. This and that spoke and they performed. A Hornist played R. Strauss's Horn concerto, just the first movement, but it ended in the dominant, so it might even be just the exposition. The a Jazz trio played two similar jazz pieces, the ones with just walking bass throughout and the pianist plays the melody/chords.

Then, off to meet my composition teacher. Mr. Charles Bodman-Rae, very British. I met 3 other composition students, Joshua, Andrew and Lauren. After a brief briefing (we were told to meet him at 2 tomorrow and bring our compositions), we left. I was just walking with Andrew when we met Johanna. Andrew is born and raised in Aussie but he is a British, while Johanna is a K.K. Malaysian, with a scholarship to do Piano degree!

Anyway we talked and talked, they are really friendly. After that we went to the MUSCORE briefing and then we left. I then went to the clubs area. I want to join the Adelaide University Gliding Club! Like fly man! Fly! It would be sooo awesome! After that I went to CCM's corner (Christian Church Movement) where Allan and the rest are there packing up already (I went late). They made me carry a cutter and the poster, and they left me there, thinking that I was going with Vivian (whom thought that I was going with them). So I had to go back with a bus. But it's good too, coz when I waited for them for a bit, I saw the Choir Club, and I joined it while searching aimlessly for them. First meeting today at 5:30pm.

Nothing much happens after than other than sleep, chat, eat, msn, etc..
