First Entry!

I can't believe it's already been a month that I've been here and I haven't done an entry yet! I'm going to try and do them once a week.

It's pretty crazy that it's December 23rd and it's sunny outside. Been tanning by the pool for the last couple of days. I am not missing the crazy weather at home!

So to update everyone on what I've been doing the past month. The first week I stayed in a pretty cool hostel called Wake Up, right in downtown Sydney. First time living in a hostel and it's apparently one of the nicest! It took a good four days to get over the jet lag.

After a week in the hostel I moved into the place I'm in now, in Manly, a 30 min ferry ride from the city. The ferry ride is pretty nice. Get to see the Harbour Bridge and Opera House everytime I take it! The apartment I'm in now until January 11th is really nice! All glass doors in the living room so have perfect views of the water. The apartment is right on the water with an outdoor pool. We're on the top floor and have balconies and all sides. You can see some amazing sunsets when out on them.

It has been way harder than I thought to get a job here. I can get an office job in January but it has been impossible to find something until then. I'll just have to watch how much I spend! Although it is quite expensive to live here.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and going to spend it with some friends from home and then on Christmas day we are going to a beach party on Bondi Beach! Apparently it's where all the orphans (travelers on Christmas!) go to on Christmas day. Hard to get into the Christmas spirit when it's sunny outside! Hopefully for New Year's I'm going to watch the Sydney Harbour fireworks from a friend's rooftop apartment!

Well I better get ready for another job interview! Crossing my fingers!
