Coming to the end of another week in Sydney I can say that it was again full of many up's. However, this week was also full of some downs. Don't get me wrong, the week has been amazing but I have to be honest about the whole experience, and the huge wave of homesickness I got on Wednesday was not a fun experience. That said, I have the best flat mates I could have hoped for (and people at home) and they pulled me right out of my self-indulgent missery.
On the more positive side of things, this week was kicked off with a trip to the beach for a friends birthday, and a giant chocolate rice crispie cake with melted marshmallow for decoration. It's possibly the easiest and the best cake I have ever made. I have then also been job hunting, which was surprisingly easy, and got myself 3 trials in 3 different bars. The 20 CV's I printed off were a bit of a waste since I only handed out 6 before deciding I had enough offers and could stop for the day :-). The first trial was great. For someone who hasn't ever worked in a bar/pub or anything even close to that, and who had put on her CV that she had worked in a bar/pub (I know... slap my wrist), I was pretty nervous. Turns out... it's not that hard. The second trial was even better, and technically wasn't a trial at all, after an hour of working they just gave me the job and 12 hours later I finished my first shift. It was fantastic... the people are lovely, the pay is good, and when I flash the customers the huge smile my Mum loves so much they tip very well ;-) .
On a final note... it's day 100 of my travels. Oh how time flies when you're having fun! :-D
