august already?

so im back in melbourne and 100% moved into my new house. it is a pretty neat place located on lygon street. it is above a shop and has five bedrooms. the bedroom i am in now used to be a kitchen, so i have my own sink. also my book shelf is an old icebox (the kind you would have to put an ice block in to keep your food cold) and my tshirt drawer is a vegetable bin. not a bad set up actually. however, i will be moving into a room down the hall at the end of the month. this will be a good thing, especially since the rent will be a lot less.

the roommates are all very nice. there is hannah, who is never really around. von (about my age) from brisbane. ron from newcastle (quite a bit older than me) who moved in after separating from his wife, a sad story all around. finally there is chris, the one who also runs the catering company.

i still have not found a full time job, but am enjoying being able to read/listen to music/explore. i am kind of bored but know that a job should come soon enough. i signed up for artshub.com.au and have found quite a few interesting prospects. i have been searching a government site and various other job sites as well. ive also walked around handing out my CV to any shop with a help wanted sign.

i helped chris with a christmas in july party last week, it was amazing. the company used their warehouse space and brought in all kinds of video game consoles. it was a bit scary to walk around with a tray of food when everyone was bowling on the wii!!! there were also fog machines, which were a bit annoying after awhile. i am helping him again on tues.

i have done some babysitting for leisa as well. her kids are wonderful, very well behaved. there is josie (9 months), gabe (2 years), and hannah (4, but turns 5 on sunday). hannah and gabe both have very red hair, ill try to get a picture to post up here.

my life has become a bit routine, which really is a bittersweet thing. while i enjoy my free time it is a bit difficult to find motivation. speaking of motivation i better finish this post and attempt to get some things done!

thanks for checking in.
