Just one more week in Melbourne
Apparently it’s already been almost two whole weeks since I last posted, but it’s been a two weeks in which much has happened, including finishing finals, the election and doing some more sightseeing in Melbourne. Back on Nov 2nd I took my last final exam (Large-Scale Weather & Climate), which went quite well just like […]
2 down, 1 go to!
Believe it or not, it’s time for final exams here at Monash. Thus it should be no surprise that I haven’t been doing too much this week apart from studying, as I had finals yesterday (Thursday) morning in Fluid Dynamics, and this morning in Climate Change & Variability, and I’m happy to say that both […]
Last week of classes in Australia
I was browsing the web tonight and happened to discover that this blog of mine was rather prominently linked on the Gustavus home page, which made me realize that I’d fallen down in my job a bit and not updated this in nearly two weeks. It’s not like I didn’t think about doing it, but […]
Spring break in the Whitsundays
Can anyone tell me how it got to be October already? Because I have absolutely no idea how time is flying by so quickly down here. Spring Break is over, and now we only have a shade over two weeks of classes left this semester. Since I don’t have classes on Tuesdays, that means that […]
Wilson’s Prom
Wow, this has been a fun-filled and exciting past week for me. I’ll try to sum everything up without having this get too lengthy. I spent the weekend camping and hiking in the Prom (Wilson’s Promontory), a national park a couple hours southeast of Melbourne that’s situated on a peninsula that also happens to be […]
Prepped for the Prom
Well this is gonna be a rather short post, since it’s late and I need to get to bed soon. Last Friday I went out to James & Ali’s house (some family friends), it was a very relaxing day, and very good to get off campus for a few hours. While I was out there […]
Still coughing
Well, I’ve passed the two-month mark of my arrival here in Australia, it’s hard to believe it’s already been two months. But most of the last week has been dominated by this awful cough that I still have. I saw one of the doctors at the Health Services office in the campus centre last Thursday, […]
Already September?!?
Another week is in the books, and it’s already September. How did it get to Be September already?!? I’ve been down here for very nearly exactly two months, and the semester is already half done. Time sure is flying! Last Friday night I went to a footy game at the MCG with my friends Rowan […]
Snow, Olympics, and Geriwerd
Well, it’s been a couple of weeks since I checked in last, so let me recap what’s been going on for me here in the Land Down Under. A couple of Saturdays ago I went up to Lake Mountain, a couple hours northeast of Melbourne, with a group of people from Christian Union. They were […]
Muddy good fun
It’s been another fun week at Monash. Last Friday I got another few postcards to friends & family written while I was sitting by the fountain here on campus, between the campus centre and the library. Eight down so far, and who knows how many more to go, hehe. Then in the afternoon I played […]
