This time around I'm in Sydney (circled in orange in the map below. Townsville, circled in purple, is where I was before). To fill you all in, I'm on a work and holiday visa, which is a visa you can get once in your life when you are between the ages of 18-30. So with that I can be in Australia for up to a year (although I'll only be here until December), and I can work full time but can only be with one employer for up to 6 months. Its meant so young people can have an extended holiday by working here for a bit to support themselves. So while Steven is studying here, I'm hanging out in Sydney, enjoying being in a different country :)
I landed in Sydney on Tuesday morning. The flight wasn't too bad at all, I slept a lot, read a lot, and watched some movies. Tuesday I relaxed, hung out with Steven :) I wasn't too jetlagged, just passed out on the couch around 8pm every night this week, but I think I'm about over that. Wednesday I wrote some cover letters and updated my resume and started my job hunt, and thats what I've been doing since. So no interesting pictures, sorry! However, the job hunt was successful, I now have a job at a German bakery really close to where Steve is living! Now I can buy juice.
The job hunt was interesting. Basically I walked around and handed out cover letters and resumes, then called a couple places a few days later, and this bakery had me come in today for a 2 hour trial, where they just taught me a few basics. I guess that's what they do here in lieu of applications and interviews.
So I'm so thankful for the job! Please keep praying for roommates for me, otherwise rent is really ridiculously expensive!
p.s. sorry for the title, a weird mix of winnie ther pooh and wizard of Oz going on there
