Hi there everybody!
So what's been goin on down here.. Yesterday was stressful, Paul (the landlord) arrived at the house at 9:30am for formalities that should've taken about ten minutes but took like 25 minutes so we got late to our morning "lecture". We attended a lecture in academic writing, but it's very similar to the Swedish way so it was mostly repetition for my part. After that we had a lunch on the go as we went to the closest shopping centre to see the new Harry Potter movie, it was O.K... After the movie we basicly ran through the shopping centre (was huge and very nice so we'll be back ! ;) to try and catch a bus back to our house, but we were in a bit of a hurry to get ready for the evening event that LaTrobe had planned for us. To sum it up, we missed the first bus and did'nt have the time to wait for the next so we took a taxi home.
When we got home Andy and Emmy took a shower (I did that in the morning so don't worry about my hygiene) and I threw on a shirt and a tie and drank some whine, Swedish style! We also left in a hurry, thrash day so we had to take the bins out to the street, and missed the recomended tram to the Welcoming cruise that was on the schedule. But we were'nt alone on the next tram, alot of international students like us was as late as us.
The people behind this event told us to get off at the last station on that tram and had drawn a map to guide us. Funny thing though, the tram hade a temporarily other course and we ended up in the other side of the dock. But anyways we found the boat, drank some, made new friends and had a really good time!
So with that eventful yesterday, we plan to take it easier tonight, although we're going to the student pub for a welcoming party tonight, but until then not doing much.
Today started off with relaxation in the couch before a lecture in OZ english, we were a tad bit late but "no worries" as they say! Fun lecture, we were pointed out as people with dirty minds (she wondered if anybody knew what a "blowie" was, we laughed...(it's a fly btw))
and now we are trying to set up our timetables, wich we need a little help with. That and eating and sleeping a bit is the next on the schedule.
Hopefully we will soon have internet at home and as soon as we do, I will upload pictures and stuff for you guys!
See Ya'll laterzzz!
ok, to certain things out, Andy and Emmy DIDN't shower together, they took turns... And were NOT planning to take it easy in the pub tonight simply because it's not the Swedish way to take it easy...
