Nov 25-28: Wow. I'm done. Exams are over. My exchange is over... It all seems to have gone by so fast. I don't want to leave Sydney yet :(. I do want to see you all again, but I'm so...

Goodbye Straya!..
Bye, Australia! Did some fun things with friends on the last day, bought a few more souvenirs. The rental has been canceled, and tomorrow the plane is ready for New Zealand. Tried some last-minute snacks, dragon fruit. And another fun...
End of October recap
Hello, hello, as you've probably noticed, keeping up with the blog hasn't been going very smoothly lately. The more the backlog built up, the more difficult it became to catch up, and the easier it was to…
Oct 17-21: Tiling in Sydney! <3 ..
Oct 17: In the morning, I was a bit rushed to the pharma tutorial because I left a bit late, oops. The tutorial itself was fine, but took quite a while. After fifteen minutes, we had already divided up the group work, so after that, everyone did…
Oct 13-15: uni and friends..
Oct 13: Yeah, actually a bit disappointing, not much done. Another fight with slugs in the kitchen. Played guitar and worked a bit on a neuroscience group assignment. Oct 14: Beyond the Genome Lab, but my lab partner (Tanya) was sick, so with Sophie (previous…
October 7-9: not very exciting..
Oct 7: Took the quiz for Beyond the Genome online, which went well, a bit of a rush. Also did some other things for university: grocery shopping, workout, and working on my blog. I was planning to cook too, but I couldn't find the energy...
Sea Cliff Bridge..
Yesterday I didn't do anything exciting, just watched a few lectures, did some laundry, and played guitar. Today I went to the Sea Cliff Bridge, a bridge that partially overhangs the sea. We'd seen some beautiful photos of it, but the cloudy sky made it...

Cairns: Kuranda and Botanical Garden
We got up early (4:45 a.m.) because we had to leave early to get to our destination on time. We saw a lot of bats! After a bit of a delay, we left around 5:35 a.m. I fell asleep again in the car. At Smithfield Terminal…
Cairns: Crocodiles and Rainforest
In the morning, I went to "The Hat House," a shop owned by the mother of a friend of ours. It was quite a nice shop, with all sorts of artwork, plants, hats, of course, and souvenirs. I have a crocodile magnet with a place name on it...
