Nanase in Brisbane

Thank you

Hi, everyone. How is your study or internship going? My intern life is quite well as I am learning new things that are not tought at school and how Australian company works. This opportunity actually got me think not only about what I want to be but also about how I am supposed to spend the rest of university life to achieve the goals. I hope everything is going well.

Today's topic is really interesting but it is hard to tell you my experiences in Australia since I have got many amazing time which made what I am today. Cannot choose! Well...Okay let me tell you a turning point in this study abroad. To be honest, I was really upset to make foreign friends in a few months I arrived at Brisbane because I had much more free time than I thought. I hate having nothing to do so I was kind of homesick at that time. I did joined all activities that ICTE provided and was willing to talk to new people. One day, I was going to join ICTE Friday sports which was volleyball but I got lost and end up going to the basketball court at UQ. This sponteneous plan brought me two awesome friends who were going to form my study abroad life. One is Saki, who is from Japan and studies English at ICTE. She is so friendly and outgoing, inspiring me a lot. The first thing that I was suprised by her was she had a lot of friends although she had stayed in Australia for one month. I had kinda shocks... We fortunetly had a same wave length and eventually we are best friends and rivals in terms of study now.

The other one is Catriona, who is from Hong Kong and studies business at UQ. She is same hight as me and interedted in volleyball. We got along well as soon as we talked and she invited me to her society the other day. Yes! It is this society that brought me a lot of friends ranging from international to locals. I am really greatful for her.

I would call this amazing meeting 'the miracle of basketball court'. Yes I am seriouse!!! Of course other friends also make my life full of color!!! Thank you!!!
