A typical day at uni (Bella)

So… you might be wondering: what is it like being a first year BA student!? Well, wonder no more, as I am here to tell you! It took me a while to adjust to a new routine at uni. I start and finish at different times each day, and the travel is 6 times longer than it took to get to high school. I am now well-acquainted with the sorts of people you can find on the trains and trams… from the nice people who let you have a seat and move their bags for you, to the not-so-nice ones who cough with their mouth open… *shudders*
I go to uni four days a week, and three of those days I start at 10am. I wake up at about 7, and get ready and get the train just before 8am. I get a tram after the train and can arrive at uni anywhere between 9 and 9:15.
I like arriving early, so I can go to my favourite coffee shop, Chill Out, and grab a coffee before class. I use this time to finish off homework, notes and readings.
Every time I start at 10am, I have something MBB (Mind, Brain and Behaviour) related – either a lecture (1 hr) or a tute (2 hrs).
If I get a break during the day, I like grabbing a coffee with friends, studying in the library, or eating lunch on a lawn. On Wednesdays, I like checking out the Farmer’s Market.
I usually have 2-3 lectures/tutes per day, and on Wednesdays and Thursdays, I get to finish at 2pm! If there isn’t a uni event on those nights, I’ll head home, sometimes stopping for a chai latte… as you can see, I really appreciate a good latte. My wallet does not…
When I get home, I’ll go to dance class, or go to teach a dance class, work on assignments, readings etc. and get ready for the next day 🙂
Hope everyone’s having a good semester – we’re almost done!
