The next adventure!

Well, I know it's been awhile since I've had an actual update. Not much had happened - until today!

I did hear back from the Tommy job and I didn't get it. They picked another candidate who wasn't on the working holiday visa. Totally understandable, but it still sucks. So, I continued the job search and kept putting resumes out there (probably at least 20 daily!) and last week, I had an interview with a temp agency in the City for a typist position.

Today, I got the call that I got the job!!!! So I'm now employed once again! After being off work for the last 5 weeks, it feels good to know that shortly, there will be money coming back into my account! Cause, that account is getting seriously depleted lately! ;)

I was living at the Courtyard Marriott in Parramatta for the last week, which was nice. Thanks again to my bro for getting me a super sweet rate (like 70% off the original rate!!!). But, today, I moved into cheaper digs in the City. I'm trying hostel living for the first time. So far, the place looks nice, however there isn't much room for luggage (and as we all know, I didn't pack lightly!!)

The room isn't full though, so for now it should be good. I also booked myself into an all girls dorm (sleeps 8) that comes with girls-only extras: free Aveda shampoo and conditioner, separate secure rooms, and the best part - a free glass of champagne from the bar next door EVERY night of my stay! Wheeeeeee!

There's two other girls currently in the room, but I haven't met them yet - the room was empty when I arrived. So I headed out to get some lunch (and a padlock for my room locker, so I don't have to carry my laptop everywhere, or worry about it!) I'm currently enjoying some Mackers (McDonald's for y'all in North America!), which has free wifi! Bonus!

Since this appears to be my last week before I hit the workforce again, I plan to do some more sightseeing. I think I might hit Bondi on the next sunny day, head up to Katoomba and the Blue Mountains to see the Three Sisters, and see if Nic and her parents want to hit the Taronga Zoo one day! Then it'll be working during the week, vacation on the weekends for me!

Just when I thought all hope was lost for my adventure, things have finally started to fall into place!

Thanks to all my friends for their words, support and love to help me stay positive over the last few weeks! I love you guys more than you will ever know!

Next up? Sightseeing (as I mentioned above) and the apartment hunt! Wish me luck!
