The University

I haven't started classes yet but we have had our "O week". Orientation week basically. Just another way to meet people I just. On Monday there was a toga party at the bar on campus. Yes, there is a bar on campus. The legal drinking age is 18. Again, like every pub it is expensive. It was actually the least fun event that I went to all week. On Tuesday, a hypnotist came just like at post prom in the LC. It was pretty funny. He was much raunchier though. I guess less people sue each other over that kind of stuff here. It was strange. He would do stuff like every time a girl shook his hand they would feel pleasure and every time a guy shook his hand he would get a shock in the nuts. Things like that I guess.
Wednesday, we had trivia and comedy night. Despite my best efforts to lead the team to victory. We got last. I guess all the other teams used their iPhones or something. I don't know how that happened really. The first comedian wasn't very good. He did songs with his guitar and just seemed like he was trying way too hard. The second guy was much better. He would make fun of people in the crowd and there were lots of jokes about New Zealanders cause there is a rivalry between them and the Ozzies. Like us with Canada in a way. Thursday was again another party. This time you had to wear tight and bright clothes. Don't really remember a lot from this night. My room mate didn't show up till 7:30 in the morning.
Today, I finally got to go to the beach. It was great. The waves will mess you up though. Some of them get to be around 8 feet or higher. Also, they don't net off the beaches so jellyfish can get in sometimes. Very fun though. The city is right on the beach so it was cool to see it got from ocean straight to skyscrapers. I should have brought my camera. Everyone has been telling me that the sun is worst here and that the ozone is thinner but I still haven't got burned. I have been using SPF 70 though. Still very pale at the moment unfortunately.
