Hello friends,
So given that I'm living in a new city, with a new job, and a new bunch of friends, it seems timely for me to start writing again. Last time I blogged was when I was in Japan, and I found it a good way to get down my thoughts for memory-sake as well as share my experiences with all of you fine people back home. Plus, using Blogger makes me more Googley. Ya, I said it. Yes, I'm drinking the kool-aid. So shoot me.
I've been in Sydney for all of 9 days. Thus far, it's been pretty good... I mean, I've had my irrational freakouts:
"OH MY GOD MY FAVORITE PAIR OF JEANS DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO MY SUITCASE!"
"waaaaaaaaahhhhhh I'm never going to find a place to live!"
"Man everything is expensive here."
"All I want is to open a bank account and get a tax file number. WHY IS THAT SO HARD?"
That said, I'm adjusting fairly well. I suppose going through a similar situation in Japan made me a bit more resilient. I'm spending time with family and love the Google office so far. Please feel free to check out this photo gallery and be jealous: http://www.computerworld.com.au/slideshow/305276/pictures_inside_google_sydney_office_funpark/
Alright, I'll free admit this is a really weak first entry but it's 10pm and I'm a bit tired. I'll come back tomorrow to post more!
Yayyyyy for new blogs! So excited for you! It's amazing and you're great.
So I know that when you were in LA we didn't get to see each other that often (you know, me living in Denver and all) but I really do miss you already!
Your blog is so fancy! Did you do it at work?
I wish i could take credit for the template. I'm totally in love with it. However, I just happened to Google "Sydney Blogger Template" and this super pretty one came up! :) Lucky me!
And Amanda, I miss you too :) Come visit! Grad gift to yourself perhaps?
