I’m not making it up, I promise. Ok, I admit, until I go to Boston/Cape Cod in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS, I don’t have an entirety of actual destinations to write about. But reverse culture shock is a topic that I’ve wanted to talk about for a while, because until I was hit by a … Continue reading
I stupidly agreed to write a haiku for my friend Alia when my mentions of Allie in this blog were becoming all the more frequent. I’m telling you now, these are no masterpieces. Once I realised how difficult it was to get everything you wanted in the limits of a haiku, I saw the opportunity … Continue reading
I’m the last international standing. Or at least I will be in about a week. I’m not sure how to feel about it. Saying goodbye to my other internationals and the Aussies has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, and the goodbyes aren’t even all over yet. After the departure … Continue reading
YAY. I’ve finished with all university work in Australia. And ultimately until late September. I’m going to have to make some effort over the next few months to ensure my brain doesn’t completely turn to mush. So, there was one massive theme in all of the units I happened to pick out over here in … Continue reading
Because I’m bogged down by work, I’m going to write another blog entry. No, that doesn’t make any logical sense, but I can’t resist a little bit of procrastination, and I wanted to share some of the stuff I’ve been up to before I become a hermit. This post will mainly be pictures – wouldn’t … Continue reading
I realised something the other day. Up until now, I still thought of my experience here in Australia as in the beginnings and something I was continuing to get used to. Recently, I’ve been all too aware that this won’t last forever. I think I’m over halfway through my time here (I say ‘I think’, … Continue reading
Melbourne has frozen over. This might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s 16 degrees and I haven’t felt this cold in a while. I understand that all you Englishmen/women will hate me a little bit for saying this, and I’m going to go ahead and join you in that. I’ve lost my ability … Continue reading
I suck just a bit at updating my blog. But I figure I’m going to need to apologise a lot for delayed posts, so I’ll just get on with it, shall I? ;) Great Ocean Road. It’s a road. By an ocean. And yep, it’s pretty great. Better than great, it was stunning. I can … Continue reading
Second blog post of the day! ON A ROLL. This one will be a general one. Great Ocean Road blog post will be next, and I’m going to have to summon more enthusiasm for that one, seeing as it was amazing. I’m not sure if you knew, but I’m actually here at a university. Monash … Continue reading
I’ve been a rubbish blogger lately! Shameful. But now that I’ve been here about a month, things like university work (the awkward moment when you realise you’re in Australia to study) have been massively piling up. So, I’m going to do about 3 separate posts, hopefully by the end of today (as well as … Continue reading
