in and around Melbourne.

 

just a few pictures I took with either my analog Canon or my lovely La Sardina camera. I have to study and I have to do so much, but it is good I finally got to scan my analog pictures and I am still waiting for a few more film rolls!

Great Ocean Road...

Can someone please take me back... I do love Snow and winter but, and this is the most important point, not when I have so much to do and it is almost not possible to go out and run off the extra energy which I can't get rid off while only sitting in front of my mac doing cartography stuff or studying for tons of exams! I need some exercise! Lucky me I'm going to play lacrosse on thursday and I am so looking forward!

Packing...

Well finally we did a FaceTime session only for packing my suitcase or rather deciding what I'm going to take to Australia and eventually after I was worried that all my stuff won't fit into my new 120l suitcase it did and I still have space but the whole damn suitcase is now 25.1kg which is kind of good but still stupid 3.1kg too much and who knows how the wage at the airport is configured!?! So what am I going to take into my hand luggage which is at the moment only a bag and my ticket, medicine, some uni things, iPad and cables and nothing else.
Should I take a summer outfit just in case my bag get lost (as it tend to) and maybe my cameras?
Too many questions!

last hours.

Hamburg, just some hours before one stupid plane started to Dubai... 107 days... 41 one more to count down...

Sad thing is about to happen! My vegemite is coming to an end :(

So the last times at my uni work I never had much to do and mostly it was drinking tea, talking to my coworker and keeping her from doing her work, but today I finally got stuff to do, and oh how good is it to finally be able to do something good with your time. Ok, it is nice to get paid for doing nothing but strange how quick that turns out to be boring!
So today I got a few duties but been stopped by our 'opendoortime' or however you want to name the two hours when students can come and ask questions on how to go abroad. Well, some face were familiar and my boss was quite impressed by that and with the fact of my knowledge about Australian and Swedish universities. After that I got to feed our databank with different things, go to write email, had my first phone call, send my first letter and many more to do. It might sound strange but I am happy that I am finally able to do work and I am looking forward to the time when I can host these two hours by myself and don't need to sit next to my boss listening to what she is saying.

After work I used the information there to do more study about my plan of serving an internship in Australia and got some more information, back home I was able to send more applications and some other mails related to these things.

Now I am waiting for a response of my date for an interview and some other informations from different people.

Now I should start doing uni work as in study for my actual courses or rather do some exercises or should I rather go for a run (it's dark, cold and windy...)...?

summer 2013

hah! you in Europe might think what a strange title, summer is over, autumn is already here and winter not long aways BUT, I will be in summer feelings when whole Europe is swearing about coldness and wintersickness. Australia is the wonderful answer for this. And, I'm desperately looking for some nice swimwear. This summer here in Germany and Sweden, I haven't been in any lakes or the sea or outdoor swimingpools like the years before so I haven't bought a bikini this season... So these are some of my favorites right now.

Billabong

oh and please watch this one. such a great one.

back from the start.

So. Today university started for me again. at 8 am. No good start at all. Way too early. I forgot my tea in my keepcup in the kitchen and remembered it while we ate lunch at 11.30 !
So, every second week on mondays I start at 8.15 am, having a course in cartographic data processing. Today he talked about exel... so boring. Later one the course cartographic print media started and by the end of this semester I have to hand something which could be used in a calendar. That course every year creates a calendar which then will be sold to everyone and if you're happy and you did good, your print will be in there. So we had to choose a region to create a calendar page about. I took the Australian Grampians National Park in Victoria where I will be around December!
I've been at the post office as well, getting my shoes, but sadly, they don't fit so I'm going to send them back, and they are so pretty... but no point in buying shoes which are too small... :(
And still no good news about a possible new phone contract. I'm sick of it. No energy to bother about it any more. So no new phone for me, no new contract, just so sick of it.
Tonight my last flatmate is coming back to Berlin and we celebrate with ordering sushi for dinner, oh, how am I looking forward to that!

browsing...

So, I know I should study and not looking around in the internet but I do have to show these late things which I found online!

 

everything is from Gorman which is an australian based brand. and I really like it. and how great is it, that I can look for all 3 seasons right now!?! autumn is almost here in Berlin, winter is coming and then there is my winter/summer holiday in Australia! what a win win situation!
