The road less travelled...

Thirty-six hours and I will be heading back to London to catch my plane back to Australia.

No, I can't believe I've been here for two weeks either.

But what have I don't for the past two days?

Yesterday was my relax day. I stayed in my room and wrote On My Own. At 3pm I headed out to meet a woman who my supervisor knows and who she introduced me to long-distance. We chatted about all things German and Berlin-related until after 7pm and then I came home.

And sadly today was about as exciting. I woke up at stupid o'clock (4.50, if you were interested) and spent the next two hours trying to go back to sleep. Then I commented all over LJ, had an early breakfast and headed off to the conference which is the reason I'm here. I'm ashamed to admit that my lack of sleep caught up with me and I nodded off several times. Because of that and the fact that none of the afternoon presentations were relevant to my interests, I left at lunchtimes and did a little bit more shopping.

ETA: I forgot to add that I went to the Zoo and have now seen Knut. So I've done what all Berlin tourists must do. *lol*

Now I just have to fit it all in my suitcase... :-/

I'm going to a conference in Canberra from the 2nd to the 4th of August. It's on the topic for my thesis, being about commemoration, monuments and public memory. Thankfully, I have to active role in the thing - I just have to listen!

I will be in Canberra from the 25th of July to the 5th of August if anyone wants to catch up. I'm also looking at the possibility of coming to Sydney on the way there or back for a few days, as sangerin says I can crash at her place. Anyone else want to meet up there?
