Settling in
I arrived to Melbourne two and a half weeks ago, and it already feels like home. You’d have to try really really hard not to immediately love Melbourne. The world’s most liveable city? Definitely. It’s a big city that doesn’t feel like one: a pitoresque metropolis.
I’ve joined the Juggling Club to enhance my juggling skills, and the Melbourne University Underwater Club for some cheap scuba diving in Port Phillip Bay and further out. I found a respectable second-hand mountain bike which is a GREAT way to explore the Melbournian neighbourhoods. I have a part-time job. I live in one of the coolest areas of Melbourne. I can bike down to St Kilda beach whenever I feel like it. I can BBQ every evening… It’s real good living here.
Apart from all these activities, there is of course plenty of university. Classes started this week. My most interesting course is Human Language Technology which deals with algorithmically analyzing, processing and synthesizing natural language, and the coolest is Education in Natural Landscapes which more or less exists of taking a couple of camping trips into the outback
