The thoughts of a veteran

First day back at uni. I think it's time for some observations from the perspective of a fifth-year veteran.

• Driving a hot car does not imbue one with a talent for parking. Especially if one is a red P-plater. 
• There are a lot of young people at uni. 
• Young people are really loud. 
• People drive to uni a lot slower in Week 1. 
• It is always rainy and windy in this place. Always. 
• People are studying already. Bizarre. 
• Books are really dense. 
• Monash is really ugly. 
• It's so much easier catching up with people at uni than during holidays. Counterintuitive. 
• Parking is hilariously full in Week 1. I enjoy watching it slowly taper off during the semester. 
• They say they're upgrading the facilities. All I can see is things being taken apart, and the amount of rubble and gravel increasing around campus.

Despite all my grumbles, this place makes me feel alive. So much to do, so much to see. So many friends in the one place. I'm glad that most of them are doing degrees that are as long, or longer, than my own. Can't imagine how lonely it'd be without them here.

In more important news, my Alice in Wonderland diary arrived today. Sissy? Yeah. Awesome? Hell yeah.

Now to put stuff in it.
