202

today i took the bus to macquarie. i suppose wmc spoiled me for all other campuses, because in comparison macquarie is decidedly unlovely. everything is overly large, overly concrete, overly square. the ivy crawling up the sides of buildings and across windows is pretty, though. i now have a student ID with its requisite unflattering photo. i know where to get off the bus and where to catch it home. i visited my lecture rooms, though i couldn't see inside.

tonight i logged into my student account, checked my email and got my book lists for Literary Theory and also Retelling Stories: Sources of Children's Literature. the list for 20th Century Literature has not been posted. i joined the book co-op so i get 10% off all future purchases. i bought half my books, and will go to kinokuniya for the rest as i get 10% off there as well.

this is exhilarating as well as terrifying. i'm so out of practice.
