Orientations Day - Hello Sydney!


Early arrival to WI, where we met up with some first years for a breakfast of BBQ eggs, toast and pancakes (they even BBQ their breakfast!) and some typical orientation stuff.  Then more tea and info and tea and info.  THEN!  After pizza, we took a bus into the city!  This was really fun.  We were split into smaller groups to travel into the city and then we all explored a bit.  We walked around to the Opera House, where their was a spectacular view of the bridge and city!!!  The Opera House really is amazing to see.  We played some silly games like charades and a few others while we were waiting for our private harbor dinner cruise to arrive… yep, pretty awesome.  The cruise was absolutely gorgeous and so much fun to talk with the ASC students, orientation crew and first years.  The sunset was pretty amazing and after dinner (which was accompanied by their favorite drink, Lemon Lime Bitter – pretty much a sprite and raspberry lemonade concoction) we broke it down with the live band on the first level.  Australian dance parties are hilarious! 

Sam and I traveled via bus home which took about an hour, getting us in at about 10pm.  We were pretty exhausted at this point so we headed straight to bed.  Another early start tomorrow.
