Less than 2 months until home :O

 It was back to class this week as the trimester started again last Monday meaning lectures and practicals and more study. I've spent yet another week looking at fossils and creating extensive spread sheets of their Latin names and when they appear in the fossil record. I've also attended a few seminars on climate change, Chinese politics and chocolate as part of the VILP (Victoria's International Leadership Program); as you probably guesses the chocolate one was my favourite as we were given Fair Trade chocolate samples.

 After munching my way through some chocolate delights I joined a group of around 20 to celebrate Mealiny's birthday at Strawberry Fare; this is the place with the enormous, but pretty, desserts. It was a great, fun evening and so nice to catch up with many people who I hadn't seen since they returned from the South Island.
Two months sounds like such a short time after having been here for 10 months already, I'm excited to come home now but also for the travelling I've got before then.
