First assignment and first test check!

Today I sent in my first assignment. The assignment was for Photojournalism.
The task was to photograph different object/things that could look like a letter and then spell out a word with these letters. The pictures was also suppose to have the same theme as the word.

Have a look see if you can see what word it is:





Today I had my first test. It was for the programming course. It went good. 23/30 is not that bad.

St.Kilda

Hi readers!




Yesterday we decided to spend the day at St.Kilda.
St.Kilda is a beautiful suburb close to the beach and since it was almost summer weather it felt like the right decision. It was nice but the closer to the beach we got the colder it got.
So me and Emmy that went before the others (because we were free from school) was freezing at the end.





After the other joined (Dennis, Lauren, Alyse, Tadd and Lili) we went for something to eat.
Then we decided to go to our house to drink some whine and play a card game. I can tell you one thing I had a major headache this morning. But we had a really good time :)

Bugs and Zoo!

Hi everyone!

It's been a busy week with a lot of school work and partying but also some other interesting stuff happening.
On thursday just like every thursday we go to the eagle bar and drink a couple of beers but before that Me, Dennis, Emmy, Matt and Lauren went to a pub closer to town to eat "Chicken Parma". It was an enormous filé so we got pretty full (and we drank a couple of jugs to so..).
When me and Dennis were on or way home from Eagle bar something cool happened.. Dennis stopped me and pointed at something in front of us. It was a Possum standing on the ground on it's two legs staring at us and then started running towards us. Maybe one meter from us it turned and ran in to someones backyard instead. Pretty cool experience nevertheless haha :)


The morning after when I just woken up, I went down to eat breakfast. Emmy told me: "You have to go in to the bathroom and look to the left of the door."
So I did. There was some kind of bug. Couldn't really see what it was but after a while I got the mission to get it out from the house. So i sprayed it with some mosquito spray and that's when it woke up. All legs unfolded from it's sleeping state and the bug started moving. That's when I saw it was some kind of cockroach. So I took a plate and a glass. I carefully pushed the roach between the glass and plate. Then I was going to release it in to a kind of a well(or spring). I took away the glass and the turned the plate. The roach still wasn't falling in to "street well" so because I had my fingers on the edges of the plate I panicked of the thought of the roach climbing up my arm. So I dropped the plate. 1-0 Roach vs Andy. But the roach fell into the well even if it cost me a plate. 1-1 Roach vs Andy.


This saturday we also went to the Zoo. The Zoo was gigantic. It had a lot of animals from all over the world. It was a shame that the Kangaroos were just sleeping at the time but still got to see some fascinating animals. It was annoying however with all the kids there. They were screaming like crazy, punching the windows of the poor animals, and were always running in to you..







All right thats all I got for you this time!

Rain man!

Today it has been raining most part of the day. Today was just an ordinary school day where I went to my programming class and then went to the gym.


Melbourne has these beautiful parrots everywhere and today when I was walking home these parrots were blocking the sidewalk.. they did not move even if I was walking towards them. So i had to step out and walk on the streets instead.. Damn parrots! But they are beautiful. You can only see those parrots in pet stores in Sweden.

La Trobe has a excellent sport centre where I have the gold pass. Which means I get access to the gym and the pool if i would like to go for a swim. You can check out the gym with this brochure:

2 weeks ago I started this new workout schedule. It is actually the same workout program as Brad Pitt had during the movie "Fight Club". So maybe I'll have a Fight Club body in a near future. Wish me luck I WILL NEED IT!.. :P


(look at that face! that means business ;) )

New week of school

Hi Everyone!

Sorry that I haven't been updating for a while but i've been busy with the first week at La Trobe University.
I'm enrolled in these three courses:

- Object-Oriented Programming
- Photojournalism A
- Game Theory

The teacher in programming is really good. She has alot of knowledge and has been in the programming world since the 70's so she knows what she's talking about. By the way did you know that they say that the first programmer in fact was a woman from the 1800th (Ada Lovelace, 1815-1852)?

Photojournalism is really fun because i can explore and learn more and more about my system camera. Really fun exercises and assignments :)

I can't really figure out how Game Theory is yet but i think it's gonna be cool. We're going to for instance do some programming for Xbox.

In other news.. well there aren't so many other news. We have besides been to school mostly been partying down in Melbourne city. Melbourne really do have a awesome night life.




Catch ya later!
