If you told me in college what I would be doing in three years time? And said anything about being unemployed, dependent, living with my parents, overseas, single I would have thought you were crazy.
To give everyone a live update on where I currently am; I am in Perth! Yes, I made it to my final destination little over a month ago now:) I have thoroughly enjoyed my time thus far. The reason that I am getting back to my blog and documenting my adventure is because the job hunt is not going so well. It is going, I have had a few interviews and I am starting to network some, but as of yet I have no offers. To be honest I am getting a little discouraged with everything. I know many of you would tell me that its only been a month and not to worry you will get a job, I hear it everyday from my folks. I know it hasn't been terribly long, but it sure feels like it. Apparently only a two and a half years experience is not enough for the management type jobs and too much for the entry level jobs. Live and learn, great life experience, no regrets.
I have begun to make friends and did manage to make it out to one of the 5 Mexican restaurants in the greater Perth area to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! the other day. Also, made it to my first ever footy game (Dockers vs Essendon) the other week, it was unreal!
I cannot thank my parents enough for putting up with me. As much as I want to live and work in WA it would not be possible without them. I like to think they enjoy having me around and I believe they do. For me, quality time with my parents is priceless, I treasure the fact that we are so close. I asked dad the other night if he could imagine not being close with his children. He said he would never want to imagine that. I often think about how lost I would be with out my parents, makes me appreciate them even more. Not having people to look up to/support you when you are unable to support yourself must be incredibly difficult. I have to say I do wish we saw/heard more from my little sister, being on the other side of the world and all. I think my parents do not want to bug her and I wouldn't know what to say. LA is a crazy town, we are always curious what she is up to (certainly the one living the exciting life).
Next, back to California
