Day 8 - Settling In

Today I got up early and revised my resume before heading to Uni (apparently using the word campus is very American). I met with my course advisor and scheduled my classes. Unfortunately when I later checked my timetable they "clashed" meaning they over lapped in a way that I couldn't take the ones I wanted to, sooooo I'll have to head back tomorrow and sort it out. (Bummer) I wandered about Uni for a bit and took care of getting my student card and health insurance card and I also swung by the job center and travel agency to pick up brochures. I was planning to walk into the city and explore but it started raining so I came back to College. Before dinner I walked back to Kmart for some more supplies and started looking for jobs. After dinner I went to the new batman movie ( The Dark Knight) with some of my new friends and we wandered about the city for a bit laughing and window shopping. Not the most exciting day but I did get some new birds :)
I know this isn't the highest quality picture, but the terror expressed in this dove's face as a certain individual stalks him down the sidewalk with her camera is priceless. This is a Spotted Turtle-Dove (pigeon sized)
I know you already saw this big boy but I wanted to suggest you listen to his song at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ_pkvO5ia8&feature=related because it is really neat to hear.
This is a female Magpie-lark (you can tell by the eye stripe)

This is the donut from the outside...
