For about a week, I felt some kind of irritation in my mouth, but it wasn\u2019t too bad at first. It then got quite painful so I saw the doctor who told me that I developed an infection because of my teeth rubbing on my gums. I was on antibiotics and my mouth was supposed to heal itself. But no! Two days later it got much worse, to the point where I could barely speak. I was avoiding the dentist because in Sydney, an appointment is basically the price of a holiday. Eventually, I had no choice but to book an emergency appointment and unexpectedly, the dentist had to remove my wisdom tooth!<\/p>\n<p>The surgery didn\u2019t hurt itself (my mouth was numb), but the pain that followed was horrendous! I promise I\u2019m not exaggerating, but it\u2019s the worst pain I\u2019ve ever felt. I was on soups and missed out on uni for over a week which is very, very unlike me!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1770\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0003_Melbourne-Cafe.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0003_Melbourne-Cafe.png 960w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0003_Melbourne-Cafe-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0003_Melbourne-Cafe-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0003_Melbourne-Cafe-370x208.png 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0003_Melbourne-Cafe-770x433.png 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the more positive stuff! I flew to Melbourne with my fellow Brit, Jennifer, and her sister, Joannah, who came to visit from the UK! If you ever visit Australia, Melbourne is a MUST! It\u2019s really quirky and has heaps of amazing caf\u00e9\u2019s. There\u2019s a place called Brighton Beach where people go just to take photos with really bright huts (yes, I\u2019m guilty of this). I also went to their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ngv.vic.gov.au\/\">National Gallery<\/a> and ended up taking lots of photos by a waterfall which was against a window\u2026 hard to explain but here\u2019s a picture:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0001_Window-Waterfall-Melbourne.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0001_Window-Waterfall-Melbourne.png 960w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0001_Window-Waterfall-Melbourne-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0001_Window-Waterfall-Melbourne-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0001_Window-Waterfall-Melbourne-370x208.png 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2017\/05\/Jameel-MAY_0001_Window-Waterfall-Melbourne-770x433.png 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was nice to have Jennifer\u2019s sister in Australia. Even though I only met her for 10 days, she brought a sense of home which both Jennifer and I needed, especially being at the middle of our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lboro.ac.uk\/study\/undergraduate\/student-life\/future\/study-abroad\/\">exchange programme<\/a>. There are so many different phases. The first two weeks, I felt like this was the best decision ever, seeing so many new things. Then there was a very short period when I was ready to go home, a bit overwhelmed with everything. Luckily, this was completely normal as it wasn\u2019t just me feeling like this. I face-timed my friend Katie from Loughborough, and it was nice to have a catch-up and I felt better to know that she misses her favourite person! Right now, I\u2019m genuinely so grateful for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lboro.ac.uk\/study\/undergraduate\/student-life\/future\/study-abroad\/\">study exchange programme<\/a> as this experience has been life-changing.

Or white! Only highlights, of course. The hairdresser was so shocked to see how light my hair became, as he was convinced that I would never get my hair any lighter than a faint-brown shade, because of my original hair colour (jet black). Most of my UK friends hate it, but my Aussie mates love it.
