Completely unexpected and undeserved, I received a scholarship that will cover my tuition, in addition to a living allowance, for my three-year Doctoral program. I'm overwhelmed, I'm excited, and I'm nervous.
I know that this semester will fly by but I intend to get the most of it.
A good Aussie friend, whom I work with, is providing ASL (Australian as a Second Language) lessons for me. She was clear that I'm yet a beginner but she hopes to broaden my vocabulary and understanding within the next 4 months. Its a lot of work but I'm dedicated.
Here are some of the words I've been learning:
Bogan--A person who takes little pride in his appearance, spends his days drinking beer and slacking.
Rack off--Get lost!
Arvo--Afternoon
Sanger--Sandwich
Pig's Arse--I don't agree with you
Good onya--Well done! Good for you!
Yobbo--An uncouth person
Drongo--a stupid person
