Picnic

Yesterday we went into the city and had a picnic down by the river. Jo made rainbow cupcakes the day before to make us fat for the winter coldness. Thaaank you jojo

The Color Run

Yesterday we ran The Color Run! It is a charity event in Melbourne which supports the Australian Paralympic Committee. We had color in our ears, nose and in between our toes - that rimes. Hooray for colors!!

Melbourne, I love you

We have finally arrived in Australia's hippest city, and we are lucky enough to be here for three weeks! Me and Kine have our own room at Jo's house where her mom is spoiling us with home cooked meals and red wine. We've only gotten to see a glimpse of the city so far, so we're glad we have so much time here. Hopefully we can squeeze in some camping and surfing if the weather is nice to us. Melbourne = so far, SO GOOD

TimTam party

We had another goodbye night since more and more people are leaving. I'm all done with exams and can finally celebrate christmas vacation! We took our tacos and beers outside and had a TimTam party (the best cookies in australia). Way to many flavors...

Goodbyes

People are already starting to leave Uni Hall for summer/winter vacation. Luckily most people are sticking around for a few days after exams to celebrate. Happy and sad tears await...

Mumford & Sons

Lucky for us, Mumford & Sons came to Townsville for a stopover on their tour! The new album "Babel" is pretty awesome, and what an AMAZING live band they are. They definitely delivered one of the best live shows I have seen with loads of talent and energy. The video is a small taste of one of my favorite songs from them (among the more calmer songs). Me, Kine, Jo and Rosie walked out of the concert hall with hearts in our eyes and a good ringing noise in our ears.

Oh, and I just found out that I don't have to do the final exam for one of my classes because I did well enough on the class tests. OH HAPPY DAYS!! Only three exams left...

Pools again? Yes

 The only way we can survive the heat is by swimming in the pools all day. People should feel sorry for us..

Hello library

Spent the day in the library with the lovely Therese. Only one more test to get through on Friday before we start some hardcore studying for exams. Short update since this girl is making me go to Pilates at 7am tomorrow, so goodnight ...

Taco Thursday

Joanna invited us over for Taco's yesterday! Nice to have something different than the dining hall food at school (even though it's not thaaat bad). Me and Kine were craving norwegian chocolate buns, so we  google-translated the recipe and shopped for ingredients. The result: hard, doughy, burnt buns for desert. We still ate them though.. A friend was DJ'ing at the club, so after our dinner feast we headed over to check it out.

It's starting to get really hot outside now, so we are going over to the Riverway pools to cool off and do some reading today.
