https://travelinglawstudent.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/whats-a-bloke
One year studying law abroad. Plus some time in dc beforehand). May 19, 2010. What’s a bloke? Perhaps as a sign that Waffle and I can now “speak Australian,” we were able to answer one of my sister’s first questions when she arrived here in Adelaide and heard some people talking on the tram. What’s a bloke. She found just as much humor as we did upon first hearing the Aussies speak, and it reminded us of reacting in much the same way when we first arrived – just a few short months ago! Around for miles&#...

One year studying law abroad. Plus some time in dc beforehand). March 2, 2010. We arrived in Adelaide safe and sound, on schedule (pronounce:. Last Saturday afternoon. (Our luggage, however, arrived a day later. But it’s okay, b/c we now own Qantas apparel (t-shirts and shorts) to hang out in! Considering the fact that we had no idea what we were doing when looking for accommodations, we really lucked out! Our flat (Unit 1). I’ll consider myself lucky if I don’t end up as roadkill by the time...Which mea...

One year studying law abroad. Plus some time in dc beforehand). May 29, 2010. It’s been raining a lot here for the past few weeks, even though South Australia is suppose to be the driest state in the driest country in the world – second only to Antarctica. The leaves on the trees (those that aren’t palm or gum trees) have changed colors and fallen. It gets dark around 5:30pm. It’s autumn in May, and it’s really strange!

One year studying law abroad. Plus some time in dc beforehand). June 11, 2010. After my sister left, I had so much work to do. The problem was that I lacked the motivation to do any of it! This last part of the semester – work wise – was fairly painful. But, as of two nights ago, the semester is now over! Presentations are done. Papers are done. Exams are done. 3L year is finished! Just one thesis and three classes away from being completely done with law school! This is how i write papers. There have be...

One year studying law abroad. Plus some time in dc beforehand). March 8, 2010. How to speak australian. Except, it’s no joke! Australians might speak the same language that I do, but they sure do speak it differently! Here are only a few examples of the Aussie vocab and phrases that we’ve picked up on:. This seems to mean a number of things: hello, goodbye, you’re welcome, etc. Call (“I’ll give you a ring this afternoon”). University (only Americans don’t seem to use this word). AND, my favorite.

One year studying law abroad. Plus some time in dc beforehand). June 24, 2009. I can’t remember what she talked about. I can’t remember the specific stories she told, or what any of her jokes were. I do, however, remember that I was inspired and grateful for the chance to hear a successful, female, human rights lawyer. A family – albeit one very different than most of ours – tell us about her life’s work along with the satisfaction and reward she derived from it. Posted in Summer Internship. Once I figur...

australia is a big country | one year studying law abroad
https://travelinglawstudent.wordpress.com/2010/04/15/australia-is-a-big-country
One year studying law abroad. Plus some time in dc beforehand). April 15, 2010. Australia is a big country. I don’t think I truly appreciated how easy traveling was in Europe. Living within walking distance of the train station, being able to get to places like Paris and Prague quickly (and easily), and having plenty of places, such as Worms and Heidelberg, that merely required one day to visit are all things I simply took for granted.
