Alright my friends. It is time for news from Australia 🙂
Since our Trip to Point Nepean and the bowling night didn’t really happen much. Our normal student life in Melbourne with
- sleeping
- breakfast
- uni with lectures, tutes and study work at the library
- dinner
- and sleeping again.
Oh, I forgot some parties in between. Like saturday the week before when I expacted to meet some friends at a pub at Chapel St. but nobody was there. So I waited a few hours and met some other people until they came. In the beginning it was a bit strange. Standing alone on the dance floor with a beer in the hand. But yea, it is really not that bad, let’s say more an intereseting situation. In a few weeks it could happen more often.
Very interesting is also when some exchange/abroad students meet for the first time. Right, there are still people of “us” who doesn’t know each other, because they don’t go to Swinmates events or whatever. So, if they meet now, they ask general questions like:
- What are you studying?
- Where are you studying?
- Where are you living?
- What are you doing after studying?
and so on.. It’s a bit the same as usal when two strangers meet. Only a bit more specific to our study life here.
What Anna and me recogniced last saturday is, that we now have some new questions. Like:
- How many exams are you having?
- When is your last exam?
Yea, correct. My study time is over very soon. Only a handful assignments are left and an exam in November. My last normal study/lecture day is the 5th of November. Afterwards we only have to review one of our assignments and at the 18th is my User Experience Design multiple choice exam. And then it’s over. Isn’t it crazy?
weekend trip
Sure, there is a lot to do until I can feel free. However, I booked a flight to Sydney! Sophie, a friend from Düsseldorf who was studying in Sydney the last year, will leave at the 02.11.2010. So I will visit her from 29.10. to 01.11. It’s also the best time for me. The most important stuff I can finish before and I can celebrate Halloween in Sydney. Any ideas for a good and cheap costum?
travelling with tram
As you know I’m living in St. Kilda and my uni is in Glenferrie. Everytime when I have to go there I take the tram just in front of my door and hop 35 minutes later off. During the last week I saw two funny things. The frist was a sign of a cake store named “Fleischer”. That is funny, isn’t it? Oh, maybe only my german friends will understand this. But “Fleischer” is the german word for butcher. The next funny thing I saw was an advertisement from seek. Have a look of your own.
pets
We have a new pet in our flat! A really cute mouse which shows up when nobody is in and let us scream a soon as we enter the kitchen. Hilarious! Serious. A few weeks ago we had already a mouse. In mistake we lay a really really bad trap out where it got stuck in glue and died a really bad and long death. So the next trap will be one where it will be alive or one which it dies directly. Hopefully our landlord will close the hole for no more mice in our kitchen in future.
