Riverfire

Hallais... What's going on guys? I've basically been busy with uni. The weather has been awful - I've had to use my umbrella more than once during the last two weeks. I know, shocking.

Two weeks ago I went to the Riverfire which is a part of the Brisbane Riverfestival. A week filled with boats, water and fun! No, seriously I'm not quite sure what it was all about, but the Riverfire, which is the opening of the festival, was great. Nice fireworks and the "dump and burn" thingy by the F-111 was cool. Watch the video by clicking on the link if you're interested.

"Man cannot live on chocolate alone; but women sure can."


- At least according to the hot chocolate brand I'm drinking now. It's pouring down outside and we even had a bit of thunder. Since it's getting dark soon the chance of me having to go outside is quite slim, so I guess it's sort of cozy to be inside snuggled up under my blanket. Hmm... It's really raining hard. Kind of noisy. It's good for Queensland, as there's water shortages here (not nearly as bad as I experienced in Cape Town, but apparently it's getting worse).

Went shopping yesterday (Sunday). Jupp, it is possible to shop on Sundays in this amazing country. Very practical. Sundays in Norway can be pretty boring when everything is closed. This is just my opinion of course, know some of you (not mentioning any names) love these days as you can ski, hike and do pretty much all kinds of nature stuff.

Exams, ants and possums

*I just wrote a long post and then managed to delete it, feeling rather angry about that. But as the determined and devoted person I am I'll give it another go. Just wanted you to know how much effort and frustration this post took me.*

Quite glad it's weekend.
Handed in my first assignment and had my first exam last week. Don't think I did too well, but at least I'm pretty sure I didn't fail any of them. My exam was multiple choice, but I had some difficulties understanding all the words they used. Afterwards someone told me that international students can bring a dictionary to exams, so now I know that.

The weather is getting "better", or maybe the correct term would warmer as most days are sunny. Was 27 C yesterday, which I must say is quite good for winter. Definitely my type of winter, no offense snow-lovers.

We're under attack at the moment. Apparently the ants like the wood in our kitchen walls and seem pretty determined to start a colony in the corner above the fridge. The Germans have declared war, but unfortunately it looks like they're loosing. I really want a house pet, but this was not quite what I had in mind.

What I would like though is a possum. They're so cute and I really want one (no shock). Saw a couple last night walking home. Pics are not too good, but it gives you an impression. It's like a crossing between a squirrel and a cat. åååå...
