Spicy Capsicum In, Hommus Out

So recently I might have fallen in love with Capsicum and spicy Capsicum has to be a direct gift from god. If you haven't tasted it you should probably give it a go because it'll be worth your while.

I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted but I guess time flies. So I've moved into my place and have two roommates Derrick and Denise. Both of them just recently graduated from Melbourne University and are working here. Derrick is from Singapore and an architect. Denise is an arts major that did her undergrad over here but is originally from the states but doesn't want to go back anytime soon so is trying to get permanent residency status.

Finally, I've really settled in because moving in and starting school at the same time made things extremely hectic. You don't realize the hassle of even getting things like a desk chair for your room without a car. Lack of time/motivation doesn't help either but after three weeks there I've got everything I need I think. I guess some pics of the place below. It's no penthouse apartment but it's where I call home:

My room

Kitchen

Living Room

 Back to Back Patio

Igor's Pad (Really Derricks but I like to call it that because it's in the attic. They were repairing something in his room so most the stuff moved to the side.)

Room:
School has been going well after the initial indirection. My research aim is modeling the auditory pathways. Since it's a research position, I don't have to take classes here and really just take classes if there going to help your research or need to learn something for your research. My professor teaches informal classes in a range of subjects once a week that our optional to attend. If you do take classes as a research student, they are just pass fail and no grades are attached.

Also, after cs'ing (couchsurfing - couchsurfing.org) for so long I put my pad up as soon as I moved in to host people and got a request pretty much asap as somebody was comning in the next day and sent me a request. I don't really have is much time now but still have hosted people sporadically as my roommates are down with it.

My first cs'ers:

Ode to my mates for letting me cs for so long:
