So... I've been in Sydney for a week now. I love the city and my job. Everything has been going really well so far. I have made a lot of friends and have been crazy busy. I am glad the weekend is here though so I can just hang out. I think I am going to see Transformers 2 in the largest IMAX in the world which should be pretty cool! I love all your emails and updates! :) I will add pictures tomorrow. I hope you are all surviving the heat! 

MISS YOU :)

All right... the moment you have all been waiting for! Here are some updates on my life.

So I live with this family in Bondi Junction. It is a two min. walk from one of the most famous beaches in the world. It is great except it is "winter" here now. Winter for Sydney means 65-70 and FREEZING! I laugh and wear like shorts and no jacket everyday while there are people with scarves and mittens on... HAHA seriously!

I have also mastered the train system. I have to walk to the train any time I want to go anywhere and take about a 20 min. ride into the city. I have done some exploring and have been hanging out with a lot of the other interns. We have had a good time so far in our new city. I just started my internship today (wed.) So far I LOVE it! I kind of like wearing a suit and feeling important. Today was the general info sessions and get to know people day... I don't remember anyone's name except the girl I am following... her name is Amanda! :) Everyone at the company is really nice and young and it is a good atmosphere. Oh and today was my first day so I got up early and got into the city to make sure I was there on time. Well my company moved building like a month ago and forgot to notify me about it so I was waiting at this old building wondering why I couldn't get to floor 7. Then I finally got ahold of someone from the states to call my manager/the company to find out that I was on the opposite side of town. (that would happen to me!)

I have a lot planned for the week. Today (wed) I am going back to the city after work to watch a HUGE rugby match. We are going to one of the pubs and it is supposed to be crazy. It should be a good time. Then tomorrow is Thursday drinks with the program I came over with. It will be a good time to meet the interns and have some fun. My company also has a policy called thirsty Thursdays. I am very excited my Thursday. I have no idea what will happen but my boss said I should get ready to "loosen" up and let people get to know me. haha. Then Friday it is one of the other interns bday so I am going to go out with her and her "hot" host brother. I can't wait.

That's it for now... I haven't met the love of my life yet. Maybe soon. I'll also try to post some pics soon... I have some good ones :)

I MISS YOU ALL!

love,
AG :)

Hey everyone... I'm not sure if anyone is reading this but I like documenting my life. 

So It has been quite the adventure so far. I really love Sydney and everything it has to offer. My house is about a 15 min. train ride into town or like a 45 min. ferry ride. I have learned the public transport system well. I have met some really cool people from the states doing internships here as well. Today we are out on Darling Harbor and doing all the touristy stuff. I start my internship on Wed. and I am really excited for that!

Yesterday I spent the day watching my little bro. play soccer in the "pissing" rain... it was kind of fun. Besides that I have just been adjusting and exploring. Everyone here smokes and swears all the time... I fit in perfect! haha!

Anyways I hope everyone back home is good... Email me and let me know how you all are

I MISS YOU! :):):):)

I'm sitting in starbucks right now and I finally have a chance to go on the internet. I just had my orientation session and it went great. My family seems nice... a little crazy. The house is really nice and my room is awesome (I have my own fire place). I only have a 2 min. walk to the beach... too bad it is winter. My family has 3 dogs and a cat. I wont be lonely. The bus ride to the city isn't bad and my building looks cool. There are some cool people here too. We did a walking tour and I think we will have fun. I can't understand anyone here... they talk so fast. I am going to have the coolest accent when I get back!

The plane ride was good... the biggest plane I have ever been on (It had an upstairs). It was a long flight but I had an isle seat and slept most of the time.

More later! LOVE YOU ALL! :):) keep me posted on your life! :)

Hey everyone! 

So I leave today for Australia. I am really excited, nervous, scare, and every other emotion right now! I hope I will be able to keep up with this to keep you posted on my adventure. Keep in touch and thanks for all your continuous support!

Love,

Amanda :)
