Making it in Melbourne
WiFi, finally! 1,5 weeks later and so much has happened since then. This is a short recap on how I am doing and what I have been up to, but I will definitely post more on Melbourne and all the amazing things to do here soon.
So the first couple of days here in Melbourne were extremely full. Not only did I get to meet a lot of new people, but I also set up an Australian bank account, I got a tax file number and found a job! Right now I am fundraising for the National Cancer Foundation, which is both very interesting to do and for a good cause, a perfect combination for now. The only downside is the weather, because it is an outdoors job and it is still only around 12-15 degrees Celsius here. I have had two shifts so far and am doing quite good with raising money so I will definitely keep this going for a while.
Last Monday was also our first official Melbourne University day, a day full of information and fun stuff. The campus is huge and the buildings are so diverse, from very old to the newest designs. There is definitely a spot for everyone to study here! I also signed up for the 'Melbourne University Student Exchange Society', a sort of university-wide study association that organizes a bunch of social activities including dinners, bar tours and a surfing camp. There was also a market with stands of all lot of organizations active within the university, where we got loads of free food, drinks and notebooks. Excited to explore more of the campus and Melbourne!
