Sydney----


Hello. I just completed day number two of work. I forgot how exhausting working all day can be!!! The good news is that I really like work. I am working at reception in the architecture building in the program development support office. Basically I do odd jobs. Day one was quite interesting. I sat in an education board meeting for 3 hours taking minutes. Yes, that was me attempting to understand all of the different accents in the room and type as quickly as possible! Everyone is VERY nice there though. I have actually gotten 3 calls for other employment since I started there; I guess it is a good thing that I like the job!! I am a bit depressed however. The other day when I was on campus in regular clothes several people came up and talked to me. Apparently if you put business clothes on and go on a uni campus you might as well write on your forhead with a sharpe marker "don't be my friend". I was talking to the guy who was getting me coffee and I suppose the person behind me in line overheard and was like "oh wait you aren't a teacher here." Since when did I look old enough to be a college professor!? I would assume I just looked like a kid dressed up for a presentation-- apparently not! This weekend was BEAUTIFUL. I stayed in western Sydney to house sit one of my roomates friends house because they went to Byron Bay. I have never understood how people couldn't like animals until this weekend. I was looking after DEMON cat. It is the neediest, touchiest, cat I have ever seen in my life. I was held hostage in the back small room all weekend while the cat enjoyed the big screen tv, nice bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. These are the rooms that it had its fur COVERING and could some how get in the rooms even if the doors were shut. The weekend consisted of me yelling at the cat and fighting it away from touching me with a remote control. Friday went out to dinner. First time I have been out to a nice dinner in FOREVER. Cassie (friend from Philly) had off work for once so we went downtown and had dinner. I had the best, biggest burger ever! It was AMAZING! Sunday went to Coogee beach for the day to hang out with some friends that live out there and then over to a friend's house that night. That's about all that has been going on though!
