You are never alone in Sydney

Yesterday, the last Orientation day, we got showed around in school, and all the class rooms was named after color. That goes well with my blog name!

Yesterday I won my first prize!! There was mingle and pizza slices on the staff in the room where everybody had put up their drawings / photos covering every wall. Suddenly one of my program directors stood up on a chair and announced 5 winners that would be picked out by him walking around in the class room. The winner's prizes was a book with different design work, made by students at Billy Blue, really just full of inspiration. Suddenly he asked "who i Freja, here?", I turned around and won the price! He looked me into the eyes and said, "Freja, your photographs are really, really good". I celebratd with a huge pizza slice after that.

around 14, I and Niklas sat down starting looking for apartments. We sat in 4,5 hours with finally one "date" each the same evening, 20. He found a great one and will now stay there until the end of march while mine was dark and not very clean. Didn't take it. Not inspiring för fem öre.

After that I went with Niklas to an AMAZINGLY cozy bar and met up with another swede we met in the class room before. We had a really great time but Niklas had to go starting moving in already. There was a huge group of swedes there where one was named Freja! Suddenly I just stood there realizing I didn't know any one of the people around me, and I felt so calm in my self, so relaxed and happy. That just hit me.

Today, Friday, we have the day off. I could borrow my room mate's surf board, so I'm heading off right now to Manly beach (need to take ferry), meeting up with Niklas and Martin.

On my way home, after having different conversations with different people everywhere, like the bus driver, at the train, in food store, with a guard and in a line to the bus, I realized it will be hard to find moments of loneliness in the city of Sydney.

Åh fina Freja i ett nötskal, så ska det vara, att du befinner dig i stad omringad av människor att konversera med!
