over a month ago (time flies) and i was astounded by the number of
friends who showed up to help me celebrate!! i was completely
touched/moved for days afterwards at the friends that i have made in
the last year and how important each of them has become to me!! it
made me feel quite special to have such a great turn out and made me
smiley for days after the event :-) from there, i've had some going
away parties, some birthday parties and some "yeah i get to stay
parties" which have resulted in time passing at a ridiculous pace,
tears, nostalgia and smiles, me drinking moosehead beer in a pub in
australia and the occasional hang over :-) it's been a great month
and a bit!!
other than too many late nights, i've been away to lorne (a ocean-side
cottage area about 1.5 hours away from melbs) for a quiet weekend,
i've seen a couple of movies including a cdn documentary, an afl game
(i now barrack for hawthorn), had a day at the spa, have been cycling
a lot and done some urban exploring - all in, it's been an exhausting
6 weeks and the coming few look to be just as busy as the weather
warms up and we start to enjoy spring :-)
work has been crazy busy but i'm feeling like it's more under control
now than previously and i'm enjoying the opportunity to learn a new
career and work for a massive organisation full of politics, quirks
and massive inefficiencies!! it's been a great learning experience
and i'm hoping to get to travel out to western australia and/or
queensland in the next little while as some of the branches i've been
relocating or refurbishing are just about finished and it'd be neat to
see what they actually look like when they're done!!
hugs to all back home - i hope you've enjoyed your long summer weekend!!
s
btw, my visa has been accepted by immigration - it was a slightly
anti-climactic but i now have a little sticker in my passport (truly,
a second sticker from aussie immigation) which says i'm allowed to
stay here a little bit longer!!
