June 1st in Australia is the first day of winter. I remember that I thought it was a really lovely day, but when I was out and about, most people on the streets had out their jackets and scarfs, and I overheard people complaining about how cold it was. Oh well. Like I said, I thought it was quite a nice day. Here are some pictures I took while waiting for a tram at the corner of Elizabeth and Bourke.

Another day, sometime in June, I don't really know when, I went to my local beach because it's pretty.

There are walking paths along the beach with pictures of people walking, so that you know to walk there (as opposed to bike or roller blade or whatever). But someone made one of them a bit cooler.

And a view of the city from a hill next to the ocean.

The weekend before I left, I attended one of my cousin Nick's footy games. He's number 30. His team just won the Grand Final of his league last week! But here they were back in June.

Finally, in the last week before I came home, I had exams! This is a picture I took when I turned up to my very first one, illustrating the hundreds of people milling around! I took my exams in a room with 2000+ other people. Bit strange, but it worked.

After that, I came home for my winter break! Yay, END OF SEMESTER ONE!

I love the first picture at the beach. And the concept of mass examinations is funny to me... I think it's common in just about every country except America, hah. But still. Strange!

The sky in the winter pictures are very pretty!

So just so you know, it's taken me this long to create an account so I can comment. I've read all of them and get the e-mailed updates, but I've never commented because I didn't have an account. But now I do! Haha.

Whoever graffitied that diagram of people walking is a fabulous human being. My deepest congratulations.
