The last week has arrived.
This feels sick. Weird. Wrong.
I. Want. To. Stay.
(although it would have been good to get out of my finals this week...)
Monday - studying for Food Science 2 from 10.30am to 1am tuesday morning...
Tuesday - some more studying for Food Science 2, but not as much - instead I started taking a lot of pics this week, espesh in the dining hall.
Standing in line!
A typical dinner - spring rolls with vegetables, wedges (the potato thingies), sweet chili sauce - should have had sour cream as well - and a lot of oranges! (the apples i take home and put on my shelf)
Take away!
The salad bar
My apple shelf!
Wednesday - Final exam in Food Science 2 (got the results waaay later - got an HD, that would in swedish be a MMVG, yup two M's, since ozzies got one grade more than we do). Ha! Nailed it! Suck on that Surinder! (we'll see how "i go on" - well i've gone all the way, biatch...)
After the final I was so relieved I actually took half an hour to stroll around the campus to take some final pics of the jungle =)
Here's the bank on campus
And i'm back at IH - high five to myself for living through my first final !
Wednesday evening at the dining hall - dessert, well d'ya like doughnuts?
Wednesdays are pizza-pasta nights over here, so enjoy the greasy salad, and the even more greasy pizza slice and pasta serve - sounds almost awful right now, but wow did we eat!
Some more studying after dinner - i've only got one and a half day to prepare for the Clincal Exercise Physiology final that is on friday...
This was my studying position in the end - got my yammie-panties on, and well it's good to be near the radiator since it's fricken freezing....
Thursday morning - the view from my window
Thursday day - revision revision revision
Thursday evening - last dinner at the dining hall! Got some beef (i think) with noodles, vegetables and rice, and can't forget the oranges! I also got extreeemly lucky and got my favorite dessert tonight - some kind of spicey carrot cake!
Later thursday evening - last trip to Jezzo - did some shopping at Cotton On and Wow (woolworths). Katie was glad she found kangaroo meat =)
The gang outside of jezzo!
Friday - final exam in Clinical Exercise Physiology (and the final exam for a bit more than 7 months!!!)...
it was very very tricky, and it felt like i was struggeling to pass, but well, a few weeks later the result came - 86%, ie an HD in this course too!
(only SOCA i didn't get an HD, only a D... which would be MVG over here - so all in all, pretty good semester!)
After my exam i ran into samir who wanted to try my bike - i did warn him that the breaks didn't really work... well, turned out they didn't work at all..!
Friday night - my private farewell dinner =)
We were 20 people getting some awesome food at Grand Hotel! Well, it was just a given, I had to come back before leaving - my first "home" in Newy - it's a bit poetic that they would be the ones to serve me my last dinner... (okey, not completely the last, i still have to eat tomorrow)
It was great food anyway - and super-duper-great company!
Samir got some dessert on his nose..
We're "singing" without moving our lips - can you make out the song? =)
more "singing"
and some more "singing" =)
Woo's doing magic !
Tom's enjoying the handbag - man, i feel like a woman!
We payed a visit to the Underground as well, but yeah, it's the basement of Grand Hotel really!
Ash having a go at the dance floor at the Underground.. =D
Then off to a classic - the beach at night!
This pose is supposed to be known as "The Moon"..
We saw a hooker getting stopped by the police!
Some people drove back pretty quick, the rest of us went to a bar i can't really recall the name of, for a drink or two. Then one of the cars came back and picked us up =)
The night ended in 1130, where we had some kind of poo-nang (we just called it poo), which is Canadas national dish ;)
Then we played some jungle speed =)
Saturday - whoha! Lots to do... Packed for a while, then i drove my bike down to Islington (yup, the prostitute district), to return it at Newcastle Bike Ecology Center. Legen - wait for it - dary place! The guy next to me and bikey is the one running this place - he's pretty much a hippie intended to save the world by putting people on bicycles!
I actually got all my money back that i payed for it (60AUD), which means i've had a free bike for four months!
Took some more pics of the neighbourhood while waiting for Genna to come pick me up =)
Back at IH i spent a fair bit running around exchanging photos with people, and getting some new music on my computer. I happened to be at Blaven's when he got a pretty hysterical call from Katie in 510.. something about a mouse..
We still don't know how it came to be dead right in the middle of their kitchen... normally they creep into walls etc when they feel sick, and they end up dying there - NOT in an open space... - so what the hell happened to this little guy?
Saturday night - another good bye party for me (!), but with the same gang as yesterday!
This time, we went to the car park and played car park soccer for a while - Trent and Laetitia came back from their trip today too, so it was good to see them again =)
Best group photo ever!
The night ended with some chili snaps in 220, followed by jungle speed!
Sunday - whoha! packed the very last things, and then we had a wonderful time out in the courtyard with all the people who came to say g'bye...!
When Happy Cabby came to drive me to the airport i really really really didn't feel like going...
Sydney from Happy Cabby, and then from the plane window..
The last pics before coming to Sweden - the flight camera with this amazing view of the plane!
I'm somewhere to the right, near the wing =)
Bye bye Australia! See you again sooooon!
