The Coast Life (Week 1)

Hello and welcome to my first summative blog! I am excited to share my experiences and observations with you as I embark on this Australian journey just a quick 19-hour flight time from my native Chicago.

For some context: I’m staying in a hostel-turned-housing-for-study-abroad-students operated by a company called SemesterInAustralia (SiA), or at least that’s how I describe it. I’m living here with another 13 students from the US and Canada split between singles and doubles, as well as a few older residents from Brazil, Japan, France, and even more places around the world! It was especially nice coming in knowing that two fellow University of Michigan students, Lauren and Caroline, would be staying in the same hostel as me and then meeting three more UM students once here! Even more nice — the fact that you could see Coogee Beach from our front door.

View from front door:

The morning I landed in Sydney, the sun was radiating and the sky was the bluest I’d seen in weeks. The winter I left in the northern hemisphere was quickly forgotten and replaced with sights of countless t-shirts and palm trees. As soon as I got to my hostel, I threw my bags in my room and was eager to start exploring. Lauren, Caroline, me, and Anthony, a student from the University of Buffalo took to the streets. After what seemed like a never-ending 1-minute walk, we were standing on Coogee Beach with our mouths dropped in astonishment at the fact that this was going to be our life for the next 4.5 months.

Coming from a family of beach-lovers, I swore at that moment that I would swim in the ocean everyday, no matter the hour, to take the fullest advantage of the opportunity that lie before me and make my family proud. We proceeded to explore the surrounding beach town, make some headway in the Coogee-Bondi coastal walk with magnificent views of the water and beaches, and try Vegemite, a spread for toast that locals rave about (though I can’t say it was a personal favorite). Throughout our voyage, I couldn’t help but notice how not a single piece of trash littered the streets and how every passersby face exuded a state of relaxation I can only achieve after submitting my last homework assignment of the year. Needless to say, no five minutes passed without one of us uttering, “I can’t believe we live here.”

After returning to the hostel, I met the rest of the students and we set off on a small tour into the city set up by SiA. Seeing the Opera House up close for the first time is something I’ll never forget. The rest of our first day in Sydney was full of name games, mild chaos navigating the transit system with such a big group, and lots of laughs.

The next challenge was finding a place to watch the upcoming Rose Bowl! Another UM student, Aanika, and I set out to a local sports bar to ask if they could show the game which would be playing at 9am on the morning of Jan 2nd. The bar happily agreed and that morning we showed up covered in UM gear. By the end, there were 11 of us students with another 10 locals who had strolled in biting our nails over the possible outcomes. The Michigan win put smiles on our faces and gave us the confidence to go to our orientation while still in our UM gear.

I wish I could say I did more than lie on various beaches, go on morning runs along the coast, and explore Coogee for the rest of my first week, but I didn’t — and I couldn’t be happier. Cheers!

WEEK ONE.

🪩 ° • INTRODUCTION TO ME.

Hello, I'm Aanika Bawa, I am a student of Media Studies at Vibgyor High, Mumbai, Oshiwara in the IGCSE course.

My interest in the subject stems from my affinity for video games, action films, and lots, and lots of comic books. Media such as these keep my love for creation, fiction—and all things fantastical alike. In school, we once learnt how media has a specific language it communicates through, text, subtext, through things such as the angle of the camera, or even the haziness of the shot, all of those little subtleties keep you wanting to dig more, make you want to rewatch, rewind, and think, that is what I find so special about the art of making media, picking apart a film, unraveling the artist's vision, having it burst at the seams—is one of my favourite pastimes.

Currently, us students have been dealt with the choice of working on one of two incredibly distinct options, a magazine cover, or a two minute opening of a film. The project I've personally decided to tackle is the 'magazine cover' , as writing long articles is my self proclaimed forte. My inspirations for the project come from cyberpunk, or on the opposite spectrum, retro-core covers from various fashion magazines.

AU where the three Queens actually win against Thunder. They don't kill him, but they do injure him enough that he has to retreat. Xadia is pretty mad at the human kingdoms, but not as mad as in canon.

Truth Box

By Aanika Gajendragad They say you cause drama the most when you’re between the ages 11 to 16. We refused to believe that then, but it is true. I used to stay in a boarding school, and God, now that I think of it, I did have a lot of people I disliked.  We had a truth box where all of us would write anything about anyone and put it in the box. Usually, the confessions included people liking…
