I've been in Oz for a month now, and even though my awful sense of direction is still working against me I am getting around the city a little easier now. I'm learning the train schedules and how to use the bus. Gracie, Katie and I had to learn the hard (and embarrassing) way the other day when we got on a bus at Bondi Beach to head back home and the bus driver started to drive off then stopped and said to us, "What are you doing on here?" (Doors open) "You have to stay. Get off." Apparently, we were on the wrong bus. Ours pulled up about 20seconds later.
I picked up a part time job at a gym a couple of doors up from my apartment. It's called Bayswater Fitness and it's a lot of fun. I'm the only girl working there at the moment, and the only straight person. I work with a bunch of gay men and it's always entertaining with them; never a dull moment.
We've made friends with some of our neighbors in the apartment building so we've been having a lot of fun at home lately. We lost a roommate (Julia) and gained a roommate (JoHanna....still largely referred to as "new girl").
Next weekend some of us are planning a trip to Canberra. It will be nice to get out of the city for a little while!
I miss you all! More updates on the way. Please e-mail me and update me on your lives and any US news that I should know. HaileyHerdlinger@aol.com
