Week 1 · Monday
Landed four days ago and I still haven't figured out the bus timetable —
apparently it just doesn't run on Sundays, nobody warns you about that.
Unpacked exactly one box. The rest can wait. Everything here smells like
eucalyptus, which is not a complaint, just a fact I wasn't prepared for.

Week 2 · Thursday
Group project partner cancelled our meeting twice this week and I spent
Saturday alone eating instant noodles in a common room built for twenty
people. Rang home and cried a little, which I'm only admitting here.
Found a skate spot behind the library on the walk back, though. Small win.

Week 4 · Sunday
Went back to that skate spot behind the library and someone actually
asked to session it with me — turns out there's a whole little crew that
meets there most Sundays now. Signed up for their club today. First time
since I got here that a week here has felt like mine instead of borrowed.
