Exams done.... and hopefully passed

It's a couple of days since my last posting. I was quite busy with studying, that's the only reason.On Friday the 11th we had our graduation at school. It was also the day of the international dinner. So we met in groups to prepare special dishes from our countries. My group cooked "Älplermakronen" and luckily everyone liked it - at least there were no leftovers. But before the big feast we had our graduation where everyone got a diploma for a successfully completed course. The next few days we were studying and mentally preparing for our last performance - the written exams.

One day we went to Burswood to the casino where we had to "gamble" on the 16th, to check out the venue and not being late on the day of the exam. And then, finally the exams. It was quite tough, especially the listening was much more difficult then expected, especially with a meanwhile aching had. But we all survived. Whether we've passed we will see only in a couple of weeks. Anyway, everybody just felt extremely relieved that everything was over. But we were too tired for partying, so I ended up at home watching the sensational victory of our soccer team. As watching with my host parents, we were celebrating afterwards with Ouzo :-). Again the next day, when Greece won against Nigeria. The next two days I spent with Beni and Sarah as they left on Saturday. We didn't do much, but just enjoying the nice weather and the time with no homework, no school and not having to study any more for the exams. We went a last time to Kings Park, to the cinema and for shopping to buy some souvenirs.

Most of my friends left on the weekend, so I finally had once time again to join Kon and his friends to the tennis on Sunday and in the afternoon I went with Jim and Evi to Hilarys Harbour, enjoying this warm and lovely day. Now there is only one week left till I start my big trip. But before I will go on a short trip to Kalgoorlie for 3 days with one of my friends from school. And then, it's soon time to say good bye to Perth...
