Jan 1-31, 2007
Another month gone by again!
It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating New Year's Eve!
This month has kept me busy, mostly with work, and my savings plans are all coming together now. I continue to work at Woolworths and allow enough hours to do all my other jobs. I am intending to stay at Woolworths until the end of February, before Kazuya and I move into a place in the city.
I decided not to venture down to Canberra to undertake a Masters Degree, but am instead going to attend UNSW to do a Masters Degree in International Relations and Politics. The course is one year, so I will be finished and graduated in December 2007. The course starts this March, so will just work until then.
Kazuya and I are currently searching for a place in the city - easy access for his college and my university. I am even considering getting out a home loan and buying an apartment of my own - we'll see if the finances all come together for me.
Kazuya's English course finishes in April and then he will have about 1 weeks off before he starts his Tourism Course at a College in the city. He is really enjoying Australian life and has settled in exceptionally well.
I have managed to keep some spare hours each week to hang out with him and take part in a few social acitivities. 2 weeks ago we sued the gift voucher my dad gave me for Christmas; Mum, Karen, Kazuya and I went on a ghost tour of The Rocks area in Sydney, hearing all the gruesome stories about convict hangings and suicides - a little about the history of the Sydney convict fleet too! A great tour overall...
Kazuya and I also used the gift voucher mum gave me and went on a para-sailing adventure down at Manly. The wind was exceptionally strong, and we just managed to finish the sail before the wind was deemed too strong for the other participants. It really was a great experience - the thrill of being about 50 metres up in the air hanging from a parachute was quite daunting before we were up there, but once we were up, it really was exhilirating.
We have also been making good use of the Summer sun and have been to Dee Why, North Curl Curl, Manly and Bondi beaches of late. Kazuya loves the surf, and I just enjoy lying on the sand reading a newspaper.
I will do another volunteer day this Saturday with the organisation I went to Costa Rica with - we have a selection day for more participants to head to Central America to parttake in more projects. Should be fun. I am also taking part in a human rights convention next week for one day.
Hope everyone is keeping well.
Take care and keep in touch
