It's now my second week at UMass and I'm having an awesome time. My room mate and I dressed up for Australia Day and gave out tattoos for people to wear. As you can see, we went a bit over the top...
I went to an ice hockey game on the weekend which was fantastic! All of the students here really get behind the UMass sports teams so the ice hockey centre was packed to capacity. UMass defeated Vermont 3-1 so everyone was particularly enthusiastic.
My classes are all going well so far. I've found that the focus here is more on assignments and projects as opposed to in Australia where the final exams are heavily weighted. The final exams here are around 20-25% of my overall mark whereas at UQ my finals can be anything up to 65%. This means I have quite a few assignments to do at the moment, but hopefully the final exam period won't be too stressful!
