and random because of the crazy weather. What they say is true, in
Melbourne you can experience all 4 seasons in a day. Friday it was
sunny so we went to the beach. All of a sudden the sun dissappears and
gets cold. We walk home and just as we get inside it starts to hail!
It hailed and the wind blew for a while, then stopped for the rest of
the night. Word is that since the "storm of 2010" as it is called, 8
people have died because they fell off their roof. I haven't fact
checked because I do not care to but wild story either way.
Saturday we go to the Future Music Festival. It is an all day event
packed with bands and djs that I mostly have not heard of...but none
the less a guarenteed good time. The day started out sunny and hot. It
ended up pouring down rain and turned so cold. We had to leave b/c the
place ran out of ponchos for sale! Still, no matter what the weather, it was a good first weekend.
Now to my next order of business. We have moved, temporarily, into a
share house. A share house is basically a hostel, except it is a
house, with less rooms. It's like a sorority house. It's all girls
and supposedly one guy. I cannot figure out who this token guy is,
because next door their is a share house with guys...so between the
two houses, there are lots of people coming in and out. We are the only
Americans, so we are surrounded with lots of accents. They all are
pretty nice and are just doing their own thing. Some work at night,
others in the day. I am still on my job search and one of my "house
mates" hooked me up with Esther, from a staffing company. I went to
the interview and met Esther, who was so cute and nice, not what you
would picture with a name like Esther. I guess she has
helped (or tried to help) most of the people in the share house. Ha I
guess some of them were lost causes. There will be more to come on
this share house and job situation. Hope everyone is doing well! Miss you all!
