Working Gal

So that past two weeks have been a little bit more low key than usual, bit more of living normal student lives whilst we save up for the next trip. Not that I’m complaining, bit of down time and seeing the day to day differences between here and home has been chill. If nothing else, these past weeks have shown me I would have no problem living here, I mean how many places do you straight from class to the pool? It’s a hard life I know.

We went to the Summer Night Market in the city, this place is one hell of an experience for the senses, gift stalls, live music and rows upon rows of food trucks…the temptation to want to try everything from the ice cream filled donuts to Chinese or Korean style dishes, the struggles are real when it comes to choosing I promise you. The live music is always great there too, local artists and it’s impossible to just sit there when the atmosphere is so good, and I can always count on Becky and Sophie to join me.

This week also bought the end to the painstaking job hunt I’ve been on (there are too many trips I can’t afford to do but refuse to not do, so had to be done). So yes, I am now a Barista in Melbourne, could I be a bigger clique? I think not. I will tell you something else that the Aussies are better at, minimum wage, one shift and I could buy a flight to Sydney! Sorry to flex on y’all;)

Some more typical student incidences occurred too, St Patrick’s day celebrations…I may be scared from celebrating that day again. We went on a bar crawl and I may have had a bit too much fun and on the way up to my friend’s flat, classic Leonie went tumbling down their outdoor stairs and cracked my head – It was all good thouh, I had some great people looking after me, nothing major but maybe I’ll be leaving that night to the Irish in the future. Also, whoever said you can’t get blood out of silk is wrong, fairy liquid and a wash, good as new.

We’ve had a couple of storms this week, which were beautiful! Reminded me of weather back home, apart from the fact that when it storms here the suns still out and its still twenty odd degrees.

I’m falling more in love with this place the longer I am here, and my family are coming in a couple of weeks which is so exciting! I can’t wait for them to experience what I’ve been babbling on about.

Thanks for reading,

Love your regular Aussie girl.
