Orientation

Picture Credit : Evolutionsky

Today was the first day of my course at the Culinary School!! I got up at 7 for the orientation which was to begin at 9 but reached my campus just about in time. There was a lot of paper work to be filled and then introduction of the staff. The students are predominantly Oriental but there were a few from from other places too. The first person I was sitting next to was a girl from Thailand and then later it was a Aussie girl of Turkish origin. Not many good looking guys though!!! I am happy that finally the course has started and tomorrow we would get the time table and be divided into groups. It's all so exciting going back to studying!!!
Of late I have been having this urge to visit dating or hook up sites like gaydar and orkut. I made fake profiles on both scanned through a few profiles and had a good laugh. I didn't act on the impulse though and chickened out at the last moment. Though I have met most of my ex through the internet this time around I would want to meet someone in person and do things the normal way!! I do feel lonely in Sydney and after a very long time I feel the need to be with someone. But then the golden rule is that you never find someone when you are looking for love so I guess I would have to pretend I am not interested.
The other thing that is keeping me occupied is visiting sites selling used cars. I am still waiting for money to be send to me from India so that I could buy a car. Today in the morning I was dripping with sweat by the time I reached my class and it felt yucky. When I reached back home from college I was in such a bad shape that had to hit the shower right away.
I wish I could skip the settling in part but I guess that t would form an integral part of the whole process of moving to a new country. My head chef for the first few months is this really sweet French man with a real cute accent. He would pronounce students as studients!! The staff is very diverse and it does seem like the next few months are going to be quite a roller coaster ride!!
