Adelaide, I think we are going to get along well...

Minus a few moments throughout the day of homesickness, I'm already in love with this city.

Seriously, how could you not be? Okay, so the train arrives not totally on schedule, but it gets you where you need to be, arriving right into the city, with about a 3 minute walk to campus. Our days so far have been pretty relaxing, but today we sat through our first class. So far so good. It's a sustainable design course that will mainly be focusing on identifying design solutions to accommodate growth in the Mount Barker area, about 35km from the city center of Adelaide. The main project of the course is worth 70% but have decided not to sweat. The subject seems very interesting and should be well worth the amount of work we will have to put into it.

After 2 hours of lectures, Emily and I decided we would pay the Adelaide Zoo our first visit. I say first because it surely wont be the last, as we have purchased memberships, giving us unlimited free entry to every major zoo in Australia (Oh YA!). It also gives us the advantage of not feeling the need to spend an entire day there, as we can visit anytime we like, conveniently located within walking distance of about 5 minutes to the campus. Today we spent the majority of our time in the Children's Zoo playing with the deer and laughing at the goats (yes, we are kids at heart).

Do you see Bambi licking his lips? That's cause he just tasted Em's shorts before taking a bite into my dress

Currently, the Adelaide Fringe festival is on until March 13th. We attended a few comedy shows on Saturday night, which were definitely out there, but we had a great time just the same. The festival was packed on Saturday, and parking was hard to come by. We managed to be the last car allowed into the lot before it was announced full. Almost all of the shows were sold out but we still managed to see "The Half Naked Chef" (ok, it was only $5), "Nothing is Really Difficult" and "Comic Strip." Here is a little info on the festival if you'd like to learn more: http://www.fringevault.com.au/page/history_snapshot

That's the update for now!
