I will go to Australia...
I talked to my professor last week, because we had to choose the topic for my Master Thesis, which I will start to write next year in April. I was very nervous before the conversation, because I knew that another decision had to be made at that day: WHERE to write my thesis. My professor provides to write Bachelor or Master Thesis at other universities in foreign countries and I think this is a great opportunity to see other countries and people and it will help me to find a job later, because in Germany many companies require that you stayed some time in another country during your studies.
Before the conversation I thought my professor would send me to the US, because most of the students who write their thesis at other universities go there. But as I entered the room he told me his idea was to send me to the University of South Australia in Adalaide. After the talk I felt uncertain. I did not expect him to send me to Australia! What should I expect from Australia? It is so far away... and it is winter when I will stay there April-July!
Now after some days I get familiar with the thought going to Australia, but I still think a lot about it. And the main problem will be to tell my parents about this...

Most of your entry is excellent. Only a few small errors. :)

It is most common to include a ('s) when saying Master's Thesis. Saying your professor provides something is not exactly WRONG, but it sounds very unusual. He allows you to do something is better and more commonly used. Theses is the plural of thesis, and that sentences deals with plural students so they must have plural theses. "I get familiar" is not really correct. It would be better to say "I am getting used to".
Overall this was quite good and at a high level.

Hi Simone,
I've just tried to correct something wrong in your notebook entry, but I'd like to underline that I'm not a native speaker and therefore I may be wrong. You entry was excellent though, and I simply had to fine-tune some of your sentences.
I beieve that, among the main aim of this website there's also the chance to get in touch with different people and entire cultures. So, besides offering you a simple correction of your text, I'd also like to add a comment to it.
Why should you worry about your parents? You said that spending some months abroad will help you find a better job once graduated, and your parents (who have made many sacrifices so far to let you study) will certainly be happy to know about it. After all, you're doing something good, and your parents can only be proud of you in case you get a better job!
And don't worry about the cod weather either! I can see you're from Germany, and you are already used to low temperatures! I've never been to Australia (and I know absolutely nothing about the spring weather there) but trust me, it's certainly milder than the German winter! Go there with no remorse or one day you could regret about that... ;)
