So its Lawn Bowls

One thing that I've learnt from the end of day 2 is that Canberrarians love to lawn bowl, that is the rolling of balls on grass type, and not the beloved 10-pin that I so love (I'm gonna miss you QV strike)! Day 2 also started with some lectures, we had one on well being and learning how to look after ourselves, heard some rural info, some tips on learning skills (mainly that stress is good, but then again its not, but then again you want it to be pumped for study, but not too much so that freak out and go sweaty...so the point was??). Last but now least, some lady from the Australian Defence Force came and tried to convince us to join the army. I really do wonder what it would be like to be a medical officer in the army...interesting yes...am I game....HELL NO!

The day ended pretty early, so I managed to go back to Justin and give him a nice clean. I've been meaning to vacuum the floor last week, but every time I've gone down to reception, someone else has already booked the little sucker!! Luckily, I got hold of it and boy was I excited. I've never been excited about vacuum before kekeke.
Around 6ish me and some other friends made our way down to the Lawn Bowls centre, where we would spend our 2nd night of socialising! What better way to do this then to play balls!! It was only after attempting to play Lawn Balls today that I now appreciate the skill that those old ladies and old men have when they play, its not an easy sport, let me tell you, especially if you're starving. The pizza finally came. It was a great night, stayed till 8ish and did the 20 minute walk back to Justin. Met some pretty interesting people, all were very very lovely though and we had a few laughs. I'm glad we have this O-week. I never thought I'd be enthusiastic enough to want to participate, but when you get in there and let loose and play along, you really do have fun :D These people that I'm meeting now are going to be my support for the next 4 years, in the absence of all my dearly beloveds in Melbourne, I guess these new people will have to do.
