Its been awhile I know,,,, a lot has happend since my last post. I got a job at a bar in Richmond which is close to where I live. Its called the Post Office Pizza Bar aka. the Posty. Its a cool place, a little more upscale than I am used to but im making it. I have realized I have little to no knowledge concerning wine/fine dinning but I am really good at clearing glasses which is fine with me. I have been working 3-4 times a week usually until three am. I usually stay after an have drinks with my co-workers and I have ended up pulling all nighters a few time. I am NOT cut out for this lifestlye and will be looking for a more stable job when my internship is finished in Feb. but for now its fun and good money.
I had a really good Christmas. Of course I missed my family and friends but I ended up having a really good day at my roommates parents place. New years and my birthday were both spent at the bar (working) but I didnt care becuase I was getting ready for my trip to Byron Bay.
An oceanway runs from the centre of town to the Cape Byron lighthouse. Visitors are encouraged to use sustainable options for moving around town like walking and cycling.
That last part was copied from good old wikkipedia :)
We were there for 5 nights and six days. I went with my roommate Jules and her friend Helena and Kate. They are great girls and we had a blast. The highlights for me was walking to the lighthouse, eating amazing food, and of course the beach! We attempted to surf one day. It didnt go very well becuase the wind was out of control but I still felt like I accomplished being cool at least.
On friday night we went to a concert at the beach hotel. Sneaky sound system was playing. They are a popular group here and they were playing a free show that night! We got there really early and ended up being in the very front row next to the stage. It was AWESOME!! She was amazing and a great preformer.
I dont think i have EVER been that sweaty in normal clothes but it was worth it.
We also went on a bus tour to Nimbin which is Australia's weed capital. It was a really fun day and we met some cool people on the trip. We got to go to a waterfall, have a BBQ, and spend some time in Nimbin!
It rained a lot when we were there but I still managed to get a tan :) There are really bad floods in Queensland which was close to Byron Bay but it missed us when we were there. Today is my first day back at the office. I am working at the Posty for the next 8 nights!! Its going to be a lot but after a trip like that I need to make some money. I am thinking about going to this music festival in Byron over Easter weekend. What do you think?
I miss and love you all! Hope you are all staying warm back home. And remember its a Jungle out there :)
