Education Abroad Student Blog

G'day Mates! Wow... I have familiarised myself with some Aussie slang!

My friends told me to eat 'Vegemite' to become an Australian. I find it a joke, as I hate vegemite, but I like milo! So I bet I have to drink and eat a lot of milo to become an Aussie! Also, I eat out at 'maccas' once in two weeks! You know what 'maccas' is? Find out!!!

Anyway, this is my second monthly report and believe me, I just got so much to share with you that I have no idea where to start from. OUCH!!!..........

Hi!! I am an International Study Abroad Student studying last year sociology courses at Swinburne University of Technology. I arrived in Sydney on the 26th of July 2008. Looking back through my diary today makes me wonder what I did throughout a whole month. It was just like a week ago since I arrived. Surely time ticks!!!

I thought I would never make it here to study. Actually, I was granted the Global Peace Scholarship for the first semester this year but unfortunately could not get a student visa in time. It was then waived to this semester. I had so much difficulties applying for a student visa again for this semester but believed with my whole heart that I would be granted one. It's certainly true that 'where there is a will, there is a way!'
