Surprisingly similar...

So now I've officially settled into Sydney. I've got a full-time job. I'm registered for classes next semester. I've figured out (and grown to hate) the public transportation system. I think I'm fitting in pretty well.

Work-wise I'm waitressing. I'm working full-time at a place called Jamie's Italian. It's Jamie Oliver's restaurant. No I haven't met him. But yes I get free food. People keep asking if I make tips here. I do. It's about $150 a week in tips and I make $17.23 an hour. Not too shabby. The people I work with are really nice and I like it. Obviously I don't want to wait tables forever but for now it's just fine.



I've officially registered for school. I'm a grad school student now. I'm studying International Law and International Relations. Should be interesting. I'm hoping the hybrid program will give me a one up on other people.

Sorry this time around with the blog isn't as interesting as last time. In London, I was traveling a whole lot. Here, it's basically the same life that I had in Chicago. (I didn't blog in Chicago because I'm not interesting enough). But, I promised people I would try to keep up with it so this is my best effort.

For those of you who remember, I have to leave the county to apply for my student visa. So Matt and I are going to New Zealand for 2 weeks in February. We're going to hire a car and road trip around the north island. It's going to be amazing. That should make for some more interesting blog posts.

Basically that's all I got going on now. I just work a lot. It's not very interesting. If anyone has anything they want to do vicariously through me, let me know and I'll give it a try.
