Hello from Australia \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It has almost been two months since I arrived in Australia and it has definitely gone by F-A-S-T. Even though I\u2019m currently buried under piles of books and assignments, let me tell you that I\u2019m having the time of my life over here. I\u2019m really excited to say that I\u2019ve now been to 2 of the 4 campuses and I have also visited Melbourne, which is just an hour away, a couple of times already.<\/p>\n

Melbourne \u2013 Eureka Skydeck and Sea Life Aquarium<\/p>\n
Life in Australia, well in Geelong, is pretty easy to get used to. Living on campus is something I would definitely \u2013 strongly- recommend doing if you\u2019re moving here for a year. I got to meet so many amazing people, most of whom are as much interested in traveling as I\u2019 am. In fact, since we are halfway through our trimester over here, we just had an inter-trimester break (which basically means a week without lectures or seminars). Everyone had different plans but all of us went exploring! In fact, I found some other students who wanted to visit the same places as I did. We managed to visit Brisbane, Sydney and last but not least Canberra, the capital – in just A WEEK. We flew in every city \u2013 the cheapest and fastest way to travel in Australia \u2013 and spent a full day and a half in each city doing the \u201ctourist stuff\u201d.<\/p>\n

1st<\/sup> Column: Brisbane, 2nd<\/sup> Column: Sydney, 3rd<\/sup> Column: Canberra<\/p>\n Visiting the Sydney Opera House has been a dream of mine and it was a surreal experience \u2013 I still can\u2019t quite believe that I ticked it off my list! That week went by super-fast!!!<\/p>\n I\u2019m now back in Waurn Ponds, working hard to get my assignments done before planning any other trips. The desire to travel more is strong \u2013 especially since some of the other students went to Tasmania and even New Zealand \u2013 but I also realize that I came here for a reason: my Holy Grail, my degree!<\/p>\n So far, so good for me! I\u2019m really busy at the moment BUT we do get breaks and when that happens you just appreciate the experience all the more!<\/p>\n P.S. Did I tell you guys that I got to visit a wildlife park and actually FEED KANGAROUS? ME! I FED A KANGAROU (here\u2019s the proof!!!)<\/p>\n Hello from Australia \ud83d\ude42 It has almost been two months since I arrived in Australia and it has definitely gone by F-A-S-T.
