I recently received numerous complaints about this blog, it appears indeed that some people think my life as a student is not very challenging. Let me address these concerns:I am only off on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Everything else is class time.
There is a lot of pressure on the grades. If I fail a class, I may have to take the exams again (and stay for another semester, what a waste).
Job search is intense and takes a lot of my time.
It rained at least 5 times since we have been here, forcing me to study in the library.
Group meetings are difficult. We have strong arguments and fights. It's not always clear who has priority on catching the good waves.
If you feel you can make a difference and help an underprivileged student getting through his exams please donate to bplomion@gmail.com. Your donations will buy my essential course materials such as a new surfboard, caisse of white wine and a new pair of flip-flops.
Thank you!

You do lead a tough life! So when do you come home? The Fuqua students are already back...are you staying in Melbourne longer?
Thanks for your defense, Ben. I just got the email from our beloved VP Communications implying that we exchange students are lazy. I wrote back immediately to let him know that I needed to rush off to my spinning class in order to combat all of the cake I am consuming! It is a tough life, indeed.
Thanks for writing this.
