Starting my 3rd year at uni

Here I am sat in the library once more. This week is orientation week. A time where the new people startin uni learn about the campus. Therefore I'm not totally surprised that there is only two other people here other than myself. Outside a few people mill around the cafe drinking coffee and chatting with one another, but for the most part, the campus is empty. In the library all I can hear is my tap-tap-tapping on the keys as I type and the wirr of the air conditioning. When I first came to uni I thought that the campus would be packed and busselling with people. This however, never seems to be the case with this uni. It is quiet and quite peaceful. Next week I imagine this will get busier, but never by as much as you think. This campus is not the place to hang around. You just do what you need to and then get out.

This year will be my third and (hopefully) final year. This first semester I’ll be doing Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Geographical Information Systems (learning how to use a mapping computer program), Integrated Environmental Management and a Special Research Project on Ecotoxicology where we will be sampling and testing an alternative water source such as grey water or storm water. I hope it all goes well.
