Blog, blog, blog

Aussie word of the day: Mark = grade, "I hope to get good marks this semester at uni (short for university.)"

Hi guys! Gonna keep it semi-short and sweet tonight as I still have to write a blog as a part of my class assignment for Media Law and it is due by midnight tonight. I'm going to be the blogging queen, since we have to blog about our text readings every week for the whole semester.

Obviously, classes have commenced this week and I am surprised at how busy I have been. At first I thought my course load was pretty light.. class only 3 days a week with Mondays and Fridays off, but I am finding out quickly that those classes take up a great amount of time, not only in class but on assignments as well. Also, I have some classes with exams and some without, but as you may have guessed the ones without exams involve A LOT of homework.

So I couldn't post a blog without the fun stuff, right? As you can tell by the cute and cuddly picture of me and the kangaroo, I have been experiencing some of the wildlife here in Oz and some of the "wild life" as well, refer to the first picture of me and some friends at the Mustang on the weekend. We visited Caversham Wildlife Park last Saturday where we got to pet the koala's and kangaroos. Then Saturday night a bunch of ECU students got together to hang out at my friend Grethe's penthouse apartment in one of the nicer suburbs in Perth, followed by a nice, looong walk to Northbridge where we stood in line for 30 minutes to get into the Mustang. I had a better time at the beginning of the night than towards the end, but all in all, a good bit of fun!

In closing, does anyone have any good ideas for a graduate thesis topic? If so, please advise asap! Ciao!
