Uni Assessments :(

So this week I have 3 uni assessments due. This is what i warned you all about in previous post, don't let uni get ahead of you. This is probably the most common thing uni students encounter, but the secret is not to panic. The reason to hold your composer is that you are studying with hundreds of other uni students doing the same thing as you. Don't be afraid to ask for help cause some day down the line someone will need your help as well. Also, don't be afraid of your professors. Yes they may seem a bit intimidating in class, but when you get them one on one you can usually get on their soft side. One of my professors i had in my first term made a very good point. He said, "Your professors are like tools you can use to pass your courses. They are the product that you buy when you come to uni." He continued on explaining this for a long time and after i awoke from a quick nap he asked, "if we , professors, are not good products would you not complain or just stop shopping here?" So i better get back to my uni, but keep that point in mind and never let your professors tern you back when you need help. They get paid to teach us, not to scare us or make it hard to learn.

People of my gym

Well hello out there,

So today I added my newest member to the people of my gym. He is called "Tails", yeah that's a Sonic reference. He has this rat tail that is so long and unkempt it could help tailless possums all over Australia. The other members on my list are "The Screamer", "Buff Grandma", and my all time favorite "Copy Cat".

"The Screamer" is a man who, for some reason, can't help but let the rest of the gym know he is working out to the max. As he lift any weight or does any workout he yells so loud everyone stops to look at him. Now that was a bit of an exaggeration but you get my point.

"Buff Grandma" is an elderly lady who can lift more then I can. I've only seen her a few times, but i am ready to ask her for a training session. Think Arnold in his prime but as your grandmother.

Finally I come to "Copy Cat". He is probably up there with the strongest guys who go to any gym, but he insists on fallowing the smallest guy, who unfortunately was me last time, and doing the exact same workout only with huge weights. He was like my shadow that is cast down on the ground but is way bigger then you.

So that was a bit off topic but if anyone has something similar in their everyday life do share.

Sports Clubs

So this week is my third game of the beach volleyball season so on that note ill talk about joining clubs here in Rocky. I've noticed that the campus here in Rocky doesn't have many club sports set up at this moment in time. If you are into sports there are ways of working around this. I joined the ISA (Indoor Sports Arena) volleyball club and play competitive beach volleyball. There is also a Basketball club around town as well as many footy clubs. I found that by joining these clubs you can socialize with people who are interested in the same sports you are, and make a few friends and connections around town.



Last term a few friends and i made an indoor soccer team and played c grade soccer. That was a heap of fun. We had fun, got a good workout, and at the same got to know each other better. The best part about most sports here in Rocky or in Australia for that matter is that they can run year round. There are usually a few seasons every year for each sport, and at the volleyball courts we even switch up partners each season in order to mix it up and meet other players.



So when coming here to rocky be sure and look up a few sports you like to play and get out there and have fun. Sitting in your room all day doing uni is boring and it makes it hard to meet new people, make new friends and enjoy your time in Australia

sydney trip

So the Uni break is finally here. It is now time to get out of Rocky and go somewhere different. With that in mind I’ll talk about my experiences in Sydney last year.

When going to Sydney the place to stay is Kings Cross. Now a lot of people will say Kings Cross is a bad place, but in reality it was a bad place 30 or so years ago. Kings Cross is just a cheap place for backpackers to stay and also a great place for nightlife.

So we stayed in Kings Cross and had a blast. We went to the Opera house, and if you ever plan to go to Sydney be sure and see a play there. We also went across the river to the Sydney Zoo, which was a blast. If you don’t like to plan things walking the streets of Sydney is always a good way to go. On every corner of Sydney there are old buildings with tons of history, stores to shop in, and plenty of good photo ops.

So I went to Sydney for my break, but there are so many other places to go and things to see.
