As was to be expected with this blog, I've been a bit slack with keeping it updated. As soon as we got home from Cape Town uni work just started to pile up and before I knew it, exams were approaching. The past few weeks have been spent finishing off the last few assignments, studying for exams, finishing those exams and doing a bit more exploring around Johannesburg. The university year is officially over for me and I can now say I've completed my second year of university - only one more year to go!
Everyone is leaving Johannesburg at the moment, which is quite sad. Most of my friends from the Malaysian campus will be returning home and several of my friends from South Africa will be heading off as well. There are few people on campus at the moment, and although I'm glad to have a break off of study, it is bittersweet as I've had a really great semester studying here and I'm going to miss some of my classes and teachers and the friends I've made. Nevertheless however, this is one of those moments where I'm glad I had to foresight to apply for a whole year abroad and I'll be looking forward to returning in February!
I'm planning on leaving Johannesburg in the next week or so and beginning my summer of travel. Over the rest of November, December, January and February I shall be exploring southern Africa (and returning home to Australia for Christmas of course). Anyways, here a quick look over what I've been doing for the past few weeks (that don't involve study ...)
