Setting up house

I’m currently cooking my first meal (spaghetti with tomato sauce, as I haven’t had the time to stock up on food yet) in my own little studio, using my own internet access (sadly no flatrate, but I hope it won’t be too expensive) after finishing enrolment at Victoria University. It’s official – I’m a student here, with two courses starting next week!

Actually, the summer trimester is very quiet, with only a reduced number of courses on offer, but luckily I can take both entrance-level courses for my Diploma. They’re both compressed, meaning that my first Human Resources class will only last until Christmas, and my first Management class will start in January – it’ll be quite intense! I’m also taking an Introduction to Information Systems class, which doesn’t count towards my Diploma but which will give me the credit points I need to be considered a full-time student (as my visa requires). The class will be held 100% online, which should be interesting…

I had to go back and forth between faculty and school, international office and administration, but in the end I got it all done, whee! Now I’m looking forward to giving my feet some rest, hang out in my room (which is lovely, small but comfortable – you can see the first photos on Flickr) before heading out again to buy some more household items. Yay for my own four walls! 🙂
