there really haven't been too many happening events over here in the past week... let's see what i can think of.
i went out to this really fun place in bondi junction called the tea gardens. a whole loooooot of irish people seem to hang around there. and let me tell you, it's easier to understand someone whose first language is not english than it is to understand an irish person. geez louise. i swear that some irish person was talking to me and every other word out of my mouth was what? and then after asking them to repeat themselves twice i would just nod and pretend i understood them. ha! yeah right. i just hope i wasn't agreeing to absurd ideas or comments.
in addition to the many many irish folk around my area right now, i have noticed that there are also tons of germans occupying this country at the moment! backtrack a bit, i moved out of bondi into a hostel (which for anyone who might not know exactly what a hostel is... cough some of my family members cough... it is a dorm style living arrangement). i'm staying at said hostel for 2 weeks and change until the 17th when i move into the new place. we will be having a housewarming party for all of you who are interested. no need to rsvp, just show up! anyway, we wound up having a german roommate for a few days at this hostel and everyday ends up being one big german fest. they invade the room! it's insane. and now i work with two german girls, and liz also works with some germs. i'm telling you, being german is in.
about the hostel - not my favorite type of accommodation, not gonna lie. but it's cheap enough. and we're in king's cross. which i would call a very controversial area. i have seen some crazy things. transvestites, "vip lounges", and some other strange things. but it's also part classy. probably a lot of fun on weekends (which i will find out this weekend if i am up for going out!) most people call this area the cross, just fyi.
what else do i have in my life right now... work. well, it seems i've been promoted!!! i'm a supervisor. which means a bit more ching ching. always a plus. and it'll look better on a resume. and to think that this job was originally only part-time! not at all... 40 hours plus per week. keeps me out of trouble though. and i'm learning a bunch of things about the jewish culture.
now that i'm not in america, i'm a bit more interested in american politics. also, living without E! is difficult because i don't know what is going on with all of our celebrities. i miss certain foods that were readily available at home as well as the ability to drive. i'm just finding out that i have a passion for reading, which is wonderful because my brain needs some positive stimulation. there's probably more i could say, but i have to work at 7 am and serve hundreds of challas to the community of bondi.
i swear there are pictures to come. but i'm with limited internet currently. and eventually, it won't be so limited! and additionally, notice that i have a trend of updating this thing on what is my thursday. just thought i'd point that out.
i've almost been here a month! i absolutely love it!!!!
