Rowing?
Bad timing? I enquired about rowing at University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) when I first started classes (two and a half years ago). They had rebuilt the clubhouse, opened the new restaurant, and installed poker machines. But when they were in the process of rebuilding the boathouse, they laid off all the staff and had yet to hire new ones. So the only rowing allowed were the top-level athletes. No plebes allowed. Even though I had rowed on San Francisco Bay, I needed to be "taught" how to row here (because the coriolis effect might confuse me?) That was just the first of my many disappointments with UTS, which led to me not only dropping out, but leaving Australia to accept opportunity back in my homeland. Now, they've finally hired staff to oversee rowing (because volunteers just wouldn't do?) Learn to row at UTS
