One week until I leave Adelaide!!! 
It's 3 degrees in Germany at the moment! 
I was complaining when it was 15 degrees here last week.
I have lots of stuff to do:do exam, get passport photos, get bank statement stuff, buy presents for people, go to dentist, write to my uni, go to my farewell party, attend to a houseparty, attend to my sister's birthday party, buy jeans, buy battery charger, buy memory card reader, get a student card, print stuff, clean room, pack bag ...and more!
I had my last exam yesterday I'd prefer not to discuss it as if I did, I'd require counselling 
Ugh the Australian dollar only buys 49 Euro cents! I should have bought Euros in October...I guess I hsould buy them now before the Australian dollar loses MORE value. All students going on exchange to Europe were hoping the Euro would go down in value. Well, it did...but the Australian dollar went down even more in value. So, I have lost more than 1000 Euro!!!!
Fridge
Does anyone remember the photo of my fridge that I put on here? It was covered with paper and magnets and more paper and about 3 calendars!
I got back from work last Sunday morning....walked into the kitchen and thought I was in another house. Someone had cleaned the fridge!!
For my parents, cleaning the fridge on a Saturday night is great fun!

In Australia, if you have children, the government will give you a 'family contribution' (or something). It's a payment so that you can look after your kids. In previous years, the government gave my family a $130 payment! WOAH! Big money
Unfortunately, we're now classified as 'too rich' to get this payment.
We calculated, that as a result of our economic standing we'd be able to get some things fixed. We got an original 1967 toilet fitting changed! On Saturday morning we got a new kitchen light fitting!
The original was from the 80s, broken and hanging off the ceiling...
The 'changing of the light fitting' was such a monumental event on our family's 2008 calendar that we took a photo of the electrician!

Curly butter! It's the simple things that amaze me...

He smelt like cigarettes....
He then woke up and took sooo long to actually stand up and let me out of the bus.
There were lots of students to help for the first hour, then they all went to information sessions for the rest of the day. I sat at the desk working out some important things. How much money do I have to spend if I go on exchange for 7 months? How much money will I have each week? What is the exchange rate? How much money am I currently making by sitting here doing nothing? I worked out how to get a decimal place on my phone *feels proud*
Lets hope not!) then I'd have around 100 Euro per week for food, bus tickets etc 
Unfortunately, the medical people are always looking for men, morbidly obese people, people with high blood pressure or women over 50
