Great ocean road

Hello there readers!

This week has been the official "end of exam week". We celebrated by going to a lot of pubs which was good fun :)

 This monday was Emmy's last day in Melbourne so we decided to travel to "the great ocean road". The roads had a lot of curves and and you could watch out over the ocean from the road. We arrived at this place, i think it was called Beauchamp Falls.
There you could walk through the forrest and look at the beautiful nature which included waterfalls. While we were walking through the forrest I miss-stepped and went right down in the water. Luckily for me it was that deep and there were no snakes there at the time. I hurt my foot a little bit but not that bad. It was great fun though :)

 On monday Rasmus will leave for Sydney and on tuesday Sarah Button will come and visit. Sarah brings the good weather with her too. On tuesday we will have 29 degrees sun!

 Catch ya later!

Vacation!

Finally the last exam is over. Now i'm no longer in Australia studying, now i am in Australia on vacation and it's a BIG difference :D

The study period has been pretty tough but it has been worth it. I must say i prefer the way we study back in a sense that it's often not more the 1-2 courses at a time and not all exams in 2-3 weeks. Because then you don't have to compromise in some courses you can actually give 100% focus. But some things are better in Australian schools like their grade system. You can actually count how you have been doing during the course and in that way know how you will have to perform in the exams. They grade in marks and different assignment, test etc. is worth different amount of marks. In Sweden we have 2 kind of marks in University, Pass and Fail.. In some cases we have pass with distinction but it's not that many at least not in my program.

My cousin Rasmus is living in our house now. It's nice to have a familiar face around and that talks in my accent ;)
Today to celebrate that all of us is done with our exams, we are gonna have a party in our house and then later go out in Melbourne city.

Hear you later!

Long time no see!

Hi there readers!

Sorry for not writing here for a while but i've been studying really hard for the exams (1/2 done).

First of all I want to thank everyone for all the lovely words and gifts on my birthday especially my family and my sweetheart. On the night to my birthday I got to skype with my family, who sang for me of course. It was great seeing them and I was really happy to see my sisters kids.
In the morning I woke and it just happend to be that my girlfriend had sent my a letter and bought a bottle of whiskey for me, that was really sweet of her and i was really touched.
My family present was so good that I kinda feel ashamed of talking about it, but they helped me with some money for the road trip in December. I couldn't be more thankful for having such a nice family, girlfriend and friends :)
I celebrated a little bit in campus by smoking a cigar and drinking some scotch with some great friends that I got to know here.

In other news there have been many parties since the last time I wrote here. I've also been to the aquarium seeing some cool fish. I've been photographing the Occupy movement for the photo journalism course. The weather has been so warm lately and my back is all red ;)

As i said before yesterday I did my first exam and it went really good I feel.. But we'll see, my feeling is an "A".
