Another update to let you all know what I have been getting up to over the past fortnight...
Hope everyone is doing well and taking care of themselves..maybe I could take some of that advice!
The last 2 weeks have been extremely crazy (but in a sane kind of way if you know what I mean!?).
I began a new job at the start of last week - at the local Woolworths store as one of the senior nightfill staff. The hours are flexible, and I often work the evening shifts (yes until midnight) to allow enough time for my other jobs and of course university. I have worked about 25 hours each week at Woolies which keeps me fit and busy. I will be re-trained shortly on how to use the new cash register systems that are being phased into the stores across NSW.
My other work has entailed helping dad out with his golf club cleaning contract which involves a couple of mornings a week waking up at 5am! I have been keeping up with my car washes and gardening jobs, which gets me out in the sun!
Peter is not very well at the moment, with many aches and pains (and a lot of frustration), so I have been going to his place every Friday to clean the pool for him. He often gets me to do some other odd jobs while I am there such as mowing the lawns and washing the car...Sheri is well
I had a Japanese friend arrive 2 weeks ago - a student we hosted 5 years back in 2001 for 2 weeks. We have kept in contact with him since, and I have visited his house in Japan a number of times. He will stay for another 2 weeks, before he heads back for university committments. We have had a great time doing lots of things, he mainly fits in with our busy weekly schedule. That in itself is enough!
His mum arrives in the country this Thursday for a week trip around Sydney.
Uni is keeping me educated and interested - when the rest of the world is chaotic! Studying international relations in this day and age is much more complex than I ever thought it would be. I am really enjoying all my subjects and look forward to graduating in December.
On the relationship front, Kazuya has decided that Sydney is his best option for further study next year, so is at the moment looking into coming to Sydney in December as planned, and then staying on for at least one year to complete a hospitality and tourism management degree (the institution is still undecided).
I am keeping with my plan to go to Canberra and do a Masters of International Relations.
The rest of the family are well - Mark lost his semi-final soccer last week, but played a great game and I think was glad in a way that the season is over.
Alana had a car accident last week (but is safe and sound), although her car was written off - head on collision at the traffic lights. Mum was with her at the time. Both were shaken up, but Alana has been back on the road driving again this weekend trying to get some confidence back up.
Hope to write again next week....Until then everyone, take care.
