SNAKES!!! / first day of school!!

two days ago i went to this wildlife sanctuary and i HELD A SNAKE!!!! it was soooo scarry!!! then i held a koala which was much less scary haha but it did smell really bad and its fur is suuuper corse and dense! i also got to pet kangaroos and the females are REALLY soft! some of them even had little joeys which was pretty cute.  we also saw this croc that was suuuuper long and then a bunch of other australian animals.  

today (monday) was the first day of classes! i was so excited to finally start school since that is what i'm doing here studying abroad.  i had online animation which is a class on adobe flash and we have one 2-3 minute final movie due at the end of the semester with a bunch of other little preproduction projects.  after online animation i had digital photography which should be awesome! i actually have the lab for it in a couple hours.  AND i just learned that they are actually suppling our digital SLRs sooo i didnt really need to by one of those lil buggas back home but i will use it for other things im sure.  tuesday i have outdoor education and wednesday i have history of the invasion of aboriginal nations... then i have a break thurs, fri, sat, sun... :).. hard schedule aye? BUT i am in the library right now, not necessarily being studious but at least ive found it! its actually amazing and its got this great view with a cushioned ledge that im sitting on as we speak.. or i guess as i type..
