So I've had my first week of TAFE.

It wasn't too bad starting back even though I didn't want to get out of bed to go to school on Monday since I was used to being on holidays.

One of the main problems to start with was the buses because the bus timetables were changed this year and as a result the connecting bus that I need to get in order to go up to the TAFE/Uni doesn't meet up. The connecting bus leaves five minutes earlier so by the time the bus that I catch to go downtown so I can change buses gets there, the bus I need to be on has already left. In the end I remained on the first bus I was on and it dropped me off about half a block or so from the TAFE, so all I needed to do was walk straight downhill to where it is.

It was funny yesterday though because I caught the bus at 8.18am (I had class at 9.30am but if I caught the later bus I would have been late) and when it came it was full of students who went to Bathurst High School and for a minute I thought I read the name of the bus wrong (it said 523 - Eglinton, which is the bus that I catch) but when I went up to check. The bus driver went to me "The high school?" thinking that I was one of the high school students, I graduated from high school in 2005 (he's not the first one to think that I'm younger than what I actually am) and I go "is this the Eglinton bus?" and after he said that it was I explained that I needed to go to TAFE.

These are the classes that I have this semester:

Newsediting for Communications
Contemporary Australian Society
Statistics

It doesn't seem a lot but I have Contemporary Australian Society and Statistics two times a week instead of once a week. Since I started the course last semester I don't have to do Lals A or Computers (even though I will have to do spreadsheets when it gets up to that since I need to be able to do spreadsheets as part of statistics.) I'm just glad that this semester will be the last time that I have to do a maths subject. Also watching the news at least once a day like I normally do is going to come in handy since two of my subjects will be dealing with Current Affairs.

In other news today I got part of the order that I made through Sanity earlier this week. I used the gift card that I got for my birthday and I ordered Sneaky Sound System's single Goodbye ($3.99) and I also ordered Adam Brand's debut album called Adam Brand (it was $9.99). There was something like $3.75 for postage and I had a $20 gift card so it came to over $17. I got Sneaky Sound System's single today and I received an Order Confirmation that Sanity had shipped Adam Brand's album out so depending on where they shipped the order from I should get it sometime next week, probably Thursday at the latest.
