Surfing at Ocean Grove beach. My first time wearing a wetsuit and the waves were great for a lazy surfer like me. The waves broke right near shore, so no need to paddle way out to catch a set. It was even shallow enough for people to walk their boards out to catch the waves! Of course, everyone assumed the
We also checked out the nightlife in
But my favorite club we've been to so far is definitely The Croft Institute. Found at the end of a particularly long, smelly, graffitied alleyway, The Croft Institute is a medically themed bar. Test tubes, graduated cylinders, and separatory funnels lined the walls. God I'm such a dork. Anyways, it was more freaky than educational. There was even a hospital bed in the bathroom.
Valentine's day dinner. We walked a couple blocks down to Melbourne's Little Italy. Basically a street lined with Italian restaurants whose tables spill out onto the sidewalks. Outdoor meals are one of my favorite things to do, so this was the perfect V-day dinner. We headed over to a cool little hookah bar down the street afterwards.St. Kilda's beach today. It's a popular beach that's about a 20 min tram ride from Uni, so I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time there this semester. I was told it's a "harbor beach" meaning it's part of a bay, so it's not the cleanest beach I've ever seen. It was also super hot...kinda reminded me of Ala Moana beach actually. But no complaining, seeing as I could be trudging around in a foot and a half of snow right now.
Official school orientation started yesterday. I've enrolled in classes and got my student id. yay! Orientation goes through next week and classes start the following Monday.
