While I have been here I have learned that some words mean other things than what they do in America. Here are a list of some Aussie terms you need to know:
How you going?- This means what's up or how are you; not how are you going to get there
Thongs- flip flops
Heaps- lots or tons
Bearings- directions
Mang- to eat quickly
Run a muck- cause trouble
There are more that I probably just can't think of right now but I will update you later with heaps of words ha.
This week we had orientation and registration for our classes. It did not go too well. We each got handed a schedule and were told that those are our classes. All the Mizzou people have to add or drop classes because none of us got the classes we actually NEED to take while we are here. There system is fucked here and we don't even sit down with a counselor. Its a free for all if you ask me. Today I am going to lay out for the first time and I hope I don't burn. The sun is so strong here. One day I didn't put sunscreen on my face to just walk around and my nose and shoulders got burnt. That is what not having an ozone layer does to you.
