Usually it sounds as if a sun burn fading is a good thing. Not when everything is fading, except for your nose. It is still red, blistery, and shiny.
I bet you can't guess my nickname...
Monday was a relaxing day, to recoup from sunday. I read on the roof ( with sunscreen ), and mostly hung out with UK. Went grocery shopping and still managed to forget to buy real soap and actual conditoner. I had a lot of help with cleaning the kitchen, so it was done in a jiff! Everyday i clean it i find something new and disgusting, that day i found a clear container of organs...i was pissed.
Crawled up to the roof and met some new people. When we finally got kicked off ( it's nice that the noise law here is midnight) and i talked with this guy from DC for a while then snuck off to bed.
Tuesday was the dreaded, find-a-job day. Initially i had planned on getting a pub job, but found out that i can easily get an administration or reception or just data entry job and get paid like...22-26 dollars an hour. So i've been applying a lot online and getting in contact with an agent.
I went to my SWAP/IEP orientation yesterday, it was a bit of a let down because a lot of the information i had already taken just from talking ot people around here. I did however learn that we need a tax number ( like a SIN number ) to usually get a job. And i purchased a cell phone there, which i thought was a good deal until i compared it to other people at the hostel and realized i was kinda ripped off... eugh. Whatever, it is one of those boxy Nokia phones, and they last forever - so.
I was walking home ( after finally buying shampoo SUN TAN LOTION and conditioner ) and met up with Kirsty( UK girl) and Daniel ( Montreal - soooo many canadians here.) And we went shopping at Melbourne central, it's so secretive and i would have to describe it in person OR take pictures. But when you get inside it is gigantic and overwhelming.
Last night was the BBQ,and i was soo excited, and soo hungry. I was far up in the line, and then found out that vegetarians get to be served first. So I got to grab my shit first...mmm. They had veggie burgers, green salad, potato salad ( freaking amazing ), cold pasta salad, toast aaanndd a delicious fruit salad. For free! You should've seen how many people were there, if i were homeless i would come every tuesday.
I read a bit and then started to clean the kitchen again. I was not in the mood last night, and it just sucked because a group of people were going to the movies... another were playing cards... drinkign, and i'd love just to be able to sit down and do that- but i cant! I didn't get help with the garbage and this there there were 8, heavy bags. One ripped open in the elevator and i got a concoction of sour milk and watermellon on my feet ( damn beautiful sandals ). Then when i was heaving a garbage bag over my shoulder into the 5 ft tall garbage bin... i slammed my hip into the side of the bin and buckled. It just went down hill from there. Idiots walking in on the kitchen when the GATE IS UP, finding lettuce that looked like moldy saggy bread.
Gah.
I wasn't planning on drinking but i was so cranky after the kitchen... and luckily i found 12 bottles of beer in the fridge ( leftover from someone else ) so i shared them with the table. We played this game 21 ( its like dix, played in french, and you like '10' in day camp games ). But this one you added a signal to replace a number, and i swear no one could get past 12...especially me. I kept doing the wrong signal. And because i screwed up so much i drank a loottt.
The intenet has been down for a day now, and it's driving me insane! I need to do Job stuff!
