After surviving the first night at trinity adapting to college, we were welcomed to a scrumptious breakfast but knowing i do love my food, i kept to the loved cereal and fruit saving the hot breakfast for the odd treat. We made our way over to the oak lawn at uwa to be sorted into our faculties and taken around the campus in smaller groups on a sort of hunt to answer quiz questions while taking a look at our main faculty areas. I learnt while uwa looks fairly straight forward with its main biuldings, there are so many other theatres and rooms in the bigger buildings which will make the first and probably second week harder to find the right rooms. I love the campus though! It has a unique 'europe' feel but in WA. The gardens are beautiful! Everytime i walk through uwa i know i have made the right decision to study here! The scenery will help to calm any stresses the days can bring, and definately not to forget the great facilities to learn here recognised through out the world! well uwa is the only campus in wa which has undergraduate medicine, but if every other uni in australia did, i would still choose uwa!
As it turned out the uni mentors guiding us the answer the questions were answering all the questions for us but i think we were all too mesmorised by studying the campus! The tour was finished with a bbq sausage sizzle at the guild village and we made our way back to trinity. Although it may look further, it actually only takes 5-10 minutes at the most to walk to the guild village from trinity which is halfway through campus, we live right on the edge!
That afternoon we had a quiet time to recouperate ourselves some more in our rooms, before we attended another meeting with the heads of trinity session.
Emma, Verity and I made our way to QEII at sir Charles Gardiner Hospital just down the road from trinity where we were to meet our 2nd year medicine mentors. I can't believe i came across having pip for mine by utter chance! It was quite funny, after being advised to contact pip from australind we couldn't get hold of each other, when she happened to pick me as a mentee not knowing who i was we thought wow that is so strange! Moments like that no matter how bizare are always comforting, its like a proof that there is someone up there watching you and giving you faith in things happening as though its a sign to know that you are on the right track no matter how scary it may seem.
We had a great talk about all the questions i had and experiences pip has had finishing her first year of medicine. I am excited but scared, once i get into the swing of things and know i can apply myself to studyong again and know i can handle what i'm putting myself into i know being scared will turn into confidence!
Back at trinity we were faced with a challenging quiz night! After each of the four rounds of australian, entertainment and sporting questions one member of each table was to participate in a challenge. These ranged from digging your face in a bowl of whipped cream to find a piece of chewing gum and the first one to chew it and blow a bubble wins, spoon feeding another person jelly blindfolded (which i happily did feeding Rosie jelly up the nose!), singing a song with lyrics from the books such as poetry of human anatomy like spicks and specs to guess the song, eating 2 dry wheatbix the tagging another member to skull 2l of milk! (i ate the wheatbix but rosie almost finished the milk until itcame back up again!) and waxing guys legs to see how much hair could be taken off in minute... i almost felt sorry for them seeing their faces! Overall it was a very fun night :)
I'll leave tuesday for next time, tonight we're going out to the uwa giuld tavern for our rubix cube party! Hopefully i'll last the night, after a big week and adventure world today i don't know i can last til midnight! Good thing i ate some chocolate :D
