Ok. I confess. I haven’t written, or even thought about, the blog in four
months. Sometimes the thought of writing a post would stick it's head around the
corner in my mind, but it would quickly be chased away with an annoyed little
voice saying “I’m too busy”, “I’m too lazy” or “I just don’t feel like it”.
The reason? Sometimes it’s just not worth writing about daily life. Cuz yes, even if you live up side down, life is just “life”.
Have things changed a lot in the months after my last blogpost? Not really, although I did quit my job (wanted to have more time to have more fun ;-)(with less money unfortunetely) ).
Uni wasn’t on the top of my list (sorry mum and dad), I’d rather go to the zoo, the horse races, Parklife (a Melburian festival), the beach, the city, party or just chill out with all those amazing newfound friends. Having a great time was still on the top of my list.

In september, on the first to be precise, I celebrated my first birthday on the other side of the world - and it was amazing, from beginning to end! Starting off with a birthdaycake, at a random houseparty, at 00:00, moving on to a delicous hangover-curing brunch the next morning, with topnotch chilling in the city during the day, and then topping it off with a hughe birhtday party at night... It was a blast (as some can remember their hangover to be, too ;-))!
But in my chill-breaks, I actually also had to work for uni, and in
November I even had exams (which I passed, thank you very much)!
Before the exams though, we had “spring break”. Me and 5 good friends decided to go to Sydney, cuz you can’t go wrong with Sydney, and we had such a good time!

Another thing that was starting to cross my mind was “where to go travelling
after the exams, and with who?” The where
to decision was made quite quickly, cuz if you haven’t done the East Coast,
you’ve missed a BIG part of the beauty that Oz really is. The with who was also a no brainer – the
main factor being that they’d have to be people who had the same travel plans.
So I ended up making those plans with two German guys (Germans, really!), D. and N., to travel down the East Coast in nine weeks, starting in the North in Cairns, and going all the way back to Melbourne. So exciting to make those plans, we couldn’t wait!
I’ll tell you more about how the travelling is working out in a second post...

Something less exciting was the thought of actually having to leave everyone behind. We were, as I say so myself, a really tight group of exchange students, and the amount of fun, parties and good times we had is countless, and unforgettable. Therefore we even had FIVE farewell parties in the last weeks, simply because we’re not that good (and we just didn’t want to) at saying goodbye, fo real.
But to all good things come to an end, so after the last (emotional) goodbye, it was really time to part our ways... With an exciting Nine weeks of heaven and happiness ahead!
