Melbourne
Okay, so Im in Melbourne right now (South Australia, In the state of Victoria). Where it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find employment. Its annoying I admit and I hate this place cuz of it. I finally came into somemoney thx to my bday so I maight be able to do one or two things finally like watch a tennis match since its the Australian Open right now so I might as well.
Went to the Aquarium, which was nice and yea. My birthday is on sun, going to Phillip Island with the family that took me in so kindly when Ifirst arrived in Melbourne to watch the penguin parade, so Im excited about that. Im waiting for Phil to hopefully drive down here soon and then ill catch a ride with him and maybe be travel buddies for a bit, do the Great Ocean Road and then Adelaide, then maybe Alice Springs. The benefit of having a car, u can go everywhere. So here's hoping that all works out.
It looks like I cant do tasmania this time around so I might do it in the end of my trip cuz I def. wanna do it.
I have and interview tomorrow for a lingerie waitress. I hope it works out, I think they just wanna see if Im pretty enough, Im hoping exp isnt a big deal. Its wierd cuz Ive never done this whole job searching shit b4, everything always just seems to land in my lap. I must admit tho I cant wait to get out of Melbourne, where all the museums cost money.
My time in Oz is bringing out a hatred of insects that Ive never had b4. The fuckers are everywhere. No break between the seasons. Oh yea, and the weather for the most part is gorgeous, but now it seems to be favouring above 40 degree weather which i admit I dont do well in, so theres no motivation to go out and do anything.
Ive been good about drinking, had my first beer in weeks two days ago and it was better then sex, I must admit, theres nothing better then a beer after a long, hot day. I also had my first joint since new years.. I dunno whats with my tolerance but I got really dizzy and had to lie down.. damnit!! gotta do more and bring up the tolerance. I did enjoy it tho, and I slept well even in the sticky heat.
Im beginning to appreciate air con... I really find myself homesick and missing everyone dearly, but I realise that a lot of that is the time of yr, xmas/bday, and the fact that Im stressed out looking for work. Once Im working or moving again, Ill be good, with just undertones of missing home. Also, I dont have my aunt and friends to call up in times of stress cuz of the rediculous time diff.
I love travelling and Ive made friends that Ill keep for life and learned lots and had some great exp, with more to come, I just dont think I can do another big trip like this again. That and all my friends are telling me they want me to come home early, which is cool cuz I know Im missed, but sad cuz I want to, as it is Im probably not staying the full 2 years, not in Oz anyways, I guess it depends on the other places but yea. I ALMOST even miss the cold and snow, but thats only cuz this is just another extreme.
I'll try and write in this thing a bit more often but yea, thats my lj update.
