Hi I’m Chloe from (or rather, near) Melbourne!
-
hey, i’m also from melbourne! :)
-
I am jealous of the Melbournites :) it’s my favourite city in Aus, I am moving there when I get back from overseas next January.
-
ah good choice! where are you off to?
-
Off to Europe – backpacking and some study in Denmark :) I am really looking forward to life in Melbourne town though, I’ve wanted to live there for aaaages.
-
that sounds amazing, i might venture off to europe next year! haha i’m just a little biased but melbourne is the only city i’ve been to that i’d really want to live in (apart from san francisco). lots to look forward to!

Melbournestraddlers! Hooray!
-
Oh, that sounds awesome! Where are you doing your exchange? Hope you’re having an amazing time :)
I’ve only spent a week in Perth, but I loved it. Sun, sea, funky shops and cafes… if it wasn’t so far away from the rest of the country, I’d move there in a heartbeat.
-
Hey! I’m from melbourne too. I know it’s been ages but I’m excited about the existence of y’all.

Oooh, new people :) so, how is everyone? Who is everyone?
-
hey! I’m Tara from Adelaide… and I’m doing fairly good today (aside from a minor case of sniffles!!)
How are you…and who are you and what do you do? Aside from straddling…-
Oh you know, I straddle all day long :) what do I do – theoretically I work in a community legal practice and I am in my final year of uni – really mostly I just procrastinate. Also, I used to be from Adelaide! Nice town, I still miss it.
-
Nothing beats a good bit of straddling!! tehehe! I’m a great fan of procrastination… I believe I majored in it at uni, but then I left! And now I work in pharmacy playing with little old ladies drugs..! But I am thinking about going back to uni next year (if I can save enough money!!) What are you studying?
-
Yeah, uni is a financially tough act, hey. I’m pretty tired of being poor! What do you think you’ll study? Um, I’m writing an honours thesis on Australian citizenship at the moment, but the less said about it the better… it’s due in a month, eek!
-
I would like to study Womens studies and International Studies as a double degree (I did Int studies for a bit before and loved it) buuut it would have to be cross-institution because only one uni here offers Womens studies and it is the only one in the state which doesn’t offer Int studies.. Which means it could be a little messy!
That sounds…[Read more]

hiya, I’m Lyz I’m from the US, living in Port Douglas.
-
Cool Lyz, how do you like Port Douglas? What made you come over from the States?
-
Its BEAUTIFUL, I’m here on a working holiday visa for a year, but I’m trying to get my second year visa. I’ve wanted to come here since I was 6, so when the opportunity came up I flew down.

Where are you going that’s still in session? Or do law schools generally run longer than undergrad?
In the US law school is (generally) three years. After law school when you’re practicing, you have to take CLE (continuing legal education) classes. So in Oregon every three years I have to do 45 hours worth of CLE’s to keep my license.
Oh! I assumed you were referring to a class in law school and I was wondering why you weren’t out for summer. I’ve never heard much about the concept of CLE. Is there a lot of variety in which classes are available for you to take to fulfill the requirement?
Yeah, there’s a ton of variety in the classes that are available, I’m signed up for one coming up that is about using new technology like iPads in a practice. Often you’re required to take a certain amount of certain types (like ethics and child abuse reporting), but it’s pretty open beyond that.
Learning how to use an ipad in practice sounds like the funnest thing ever! Glad to hear not all the classes are a total snooze fest.
