I passed the exam in electromagnetic field theory! God I'm good! :) But now, after alot of school work I'm so tired but I can't be! I have even more work to do! It doesn't help that it's -4 C outside either. When I come indoors in the warm and cosy environment I get even more sleepy. Coffee, the answer to everything!
By some reason, I can't remember right now, I started to look at the map over Sydney. When it's zoomed out I can find my way but everytime I zoom in I get lost. I think I need to study those suburb names for a while before leaving, so I know when I'm going in the wrong direction. I find my way in the central regions around Millers point and the Opera house, as well as the regions around Bondi, Bronte, Clovelly and Coogee. But the rest is confusing to me. Well, around the Uni of Sydney I can find my way as well but that's mainly it. The rest of the suburbs are just a big fog. I know I've been in the northern parts of Sydney around Newport as well, but how to get there I have no idea. By car without a drivers license in the left side traffic? Isn't this going to be interesting? Will Åsa end up in the desert? Well, I've promised Johanna that I always gonna carry my cell phone and water, just in case I'll end up there. Hehe.
Ok, anyway. I have to share this beautiful song with you guys. A perfect one to learn more about stars:
Oh Be A Fine Girl/Guy, Kiss Me (Right Now Sweetheart)
[ Note: I hate when people walk around with maps. That's for wimps. So, as so many times before, I never use maps and therefore I always end up on strange places and meet the funniest people. On Australia day this year I met a gay guy and a prostitute because of me walking passed them three times during two hours. I ended up drinking wine with them all night watching the fireworks in Darling harbour. No maps to the people means more fun! ]
Are you interested in astronomy?

Founded as early as 1477, it is the oldest such institution in the Nordic countries, and for centuries has been one of Europe's most renowned seats of learning. One of the main centres of higher education in Europe, the university rose to pronounced significance during the rise of Sweden as a Great Power at the end of the 16th century and was then given a relative financial stability with the large donation of King Gustavus Adolphus in the early 17th century. Uppsala also has an important historical place in Swedish national culture, identity and for the Swedish establishment: in historiography, literature, politics, and music. Many aspects of Swedish academic culture in general, such as the white student cap, originated in Uppsala. It shares some peculiarities, such as the student nation system, with Lund University and the University of Helsinki. Uppsala belongs to the Coimbra Group of European universities. The university has nine faculties distributed over three 'disciplinary domains'. It has about 40,000 students (20 000 full-time eq.), and about 2,000 doctoral students. It has a teaching staff of 4,000 (part-time and full-time) out of a total of 6,000 employees. Of its annual turnover of around 4.3 billion SEK (approx. 715 million USD), approximately 60% goes to graduate studies and research. Architecturally, Uppsala University has traditionally had a strong presence in the area around the cathedral on the western side of the River Fyris. Despite some more contemporary building developments further away from the centre, Uppsala's historic centre continues to be dominated by the presence of the university. Source: Wikipedia |
