So university has started… All I can say is wow as I am just feeling a little bit overwhelmed! The first two days have been full of lollipops, cupcakes with extra icing and yummy avocado salad. If that is university life in Australia, I am rather excited but I have the slightest feeling that the university won’t be feeding us with fancy food every day for the rest of our studies!
This week is still all about orientating ourselves into the mindset of studying postgrad law but next week it will all start. For me it will be Contract Law, Criminal Law, Legal Process and Property Law. Quite a package, luckily it includes two of my all-time favourites!
All in all the law school has been amazing for us. They have organised us breakfasts and given us complimentary tickets to arts shows and to an outdoors cinema. It has been a good way to meet fellow students who all have very different backgrounds; some have just finished their PhD in another subject and some have returned to law after taking time off. It truly is an interesting mix of people and I am looking forward to getting to know them better.
My study plan for this year.
What has been even better is that now that my days have been rather busy and I have met a group of Australians, I have gotten this feeling of belonging here. I have been very happy here, no doubts about it… but at the same time I have felt a little bit like an outsider. Now, I feel like I have managed to start the transfer of my life to Australia and it feels quite incredible!
