3 weeks today

Three weeks ago today Dane and I arrived in Australia. They have been a very up and down 3 weeks....

I had a massive cry the other day because I feel lonely. I have left all of my friends in the UK, and all of my family in SA, and I feel very very alone here. I know you can't make new friends in just 3 weeks, especially when you aren't working and hardly leave the house, but that doesn't stop me from feeling lonely. After a good cry, I felt a lot better, but I know it's going to take some time before I feel 'normal' here.

On the plus side, I got called in for an interview on Tuesday, and then a second round interview on Thursday. Its an Account Coordinator position with an advertising agency in Brisbane, and they seem really great. Down side, the commute is an hour by train, and there are only 2 trains an hour, so I have to take the first train and get there early in order to get there on time. But, I commuted for 3 years in London, so I think once I refresh my book supply I will be fine.

I should hopefully hear about the job next week - holding thumbs. Actually in Aussie land they don't know the phrase 'holding thumbs' - it's crossing fingers. So, crossing fingers....

From the 6th of December, Dane and I are going to be housesitting for some friends' aunt and uncle while they are in the states. We met them yesterday, and their dalmation, and got a tour of the house. It's going to be good to have our own space for a while I think, but if I do start working soon, the commute is going to be extra long. But still, crossing fingers...
