First Class

Today was my first day of class. So I headed over to the bus stop to go to my morning class, and everyone was just catching cabs because I guess the bus just wasn’t coming. So I don’t really know what I’m gonna do for all my morning classes, I mean a split cab fare is as cheap as the bus. I caught a cab with some people, then grabbed a coffee and pastry. I headed to my first and only class for Monday, Public Administration of Hong Kong. I was shopping it but it seems pretty interesting. Also the prof has really good English, she studied in the states. There were some other internationals there too, and so I ate lunch with them after. One of them, a Canadian dude named Luke, is going to the class I want to go to tomorrow as well so I we may end up having a couple classes together. Then I wandered and did some random stuff around campus before heading back to my room. I might have a nap and then grab some dinner with Justin and Remco. Once I start getting into the swing of things I figure I will hang around campus a lot of the day to study and eat and meet people and such. And I will also have tutorials, since classes are so big here. I’m still hoping to have Friday off to do whatever, but we’ll see. This is a really good university, so I think I will not have the total joke of classes that a lot of study abroad from Bryn Mawr have. At orientation they basically told us all the here kids are probably smarter than us, haha. I want to have good quality classes and learn but I also don’t want to get bogged down, like at Bryn Mawr last year when I often felt like I was going to die. But I think it’s possible, if my friends here can do it then I’m sure I can.
