Just finished my class tutorial/class in Australia for this year. It is a bit strange to feel like this is the beginning to the end of a fabulous year. I mean there is still finals, an Australian paper, and travel left but it is all slowly coming to an end.
Last night I hung out with Ben and Rory, Callum, and Jamie at Captain Stirling reminiscing on the semester and how much you want to go on another exchange when you get home. I am ready to come home in some ways but in others, I never want to leave Australia.
Tonight is the Farewell Dinner at Currie Hall which is jungle themed. I hate themed dinners as half the people dress up and ruin the photos of us who wish to dress up proper. I will not be dressing up as some jungle animal for the photos to be forever lasting.
Things that I will always treasure about living in Perth:
- Thursday being a beach day regardless of weather conditions
- Diving every Saturday
- Dinner conversations
- Waking up 10 minutes before classes and still being early to class
- Running along Matilda Bay
- Biking to South Perth
- Tennis - outdoor tennis on clay court
- TimTams, Fantales, and Salt and Malt Vinegar Chips
- A4 paper - it puts so much more onto a page
- Weekly coffee/bike dates with Curtis
- Australian and South African accents
- No car - TransPerth is the worst public transport system in the world
- Rain
- Weekly fire alarms at inconvenient times (2 am, mid dinner, 4 am, etc)
- Cockroaches
- Surviving on oranges or apples with peanut butter
- Residence food
- 24 hour clock system
- Sea lice/jellies
