Wordfeud, Movies, and My Last Unit

Quirijn Waaijenberg • 2 June 2025

Putting words on paper isn’t always easy.

For the past three weeks, I’ve been recovering in the most boring way possible. In my dorm room, alone with just a laptop, I’ve started playing Wordfeud because of my mom—just to do something different from watching movies and listening to podcasts.


That’s what I’ve mostly been up to. But last week, I finally went back to uni for my new unit—my last one in Australia! It’s Law and Business, which is super interesting, but really tough because it’s all about the Australian legal system. It’s a bit crazy to think that my last month in Australia started like this—definitely not how I expected to begin, with a broken collarbone.


I hope I can finish my unit and still recover in time to do some fun stuff in the few weeks after uni ends. I really hope to see Sydney before I leave here.


Sometimes a blog can be short and sweet—it doesn’t always have to be long or complicated. I just wanted to share a quick update, since I have been a bit quiet these few weeks. It’s really hard to type long texts with one hand. 😄


I’ll be back soon with a more detailed insight into what I’ve been up to and how I’ve tackled the new challenges in my path.


I hope you still like this update! Thanks for reading—I’ll see you next time.

Road Trip day 3

I’m currently making small vlogs during the road trip — you can watch them on my Instagram @quirijnwaaijenberg. I’m learning the art of shameless self-promotion, let me know if I’m doing it right, lol.

I’ll start off by saying: Cheers. I’m currently at the end of my first day on the road, sipping a cold 0% Australian beer.

For everyone wondering why it's been a while—first off, I'm sorry I haven’t written anything sooner. The second reason is... I was busy wasting time. I had a difficult time settling into university life and training after the race. I had to do everything myself again, which isn’t great when you're tired and feeling a bit alone.
