That not-so-exciting post about nothing

I figured it was due time I updated my blog.  Unfortunately, however, I haven't done anything too terribly exciting in the last few weeks.  My first weekend here was spectacular, yes, but that seems to be the only bit of excitement I've experienced lately.


I mostly spend my time on the pull out couch in Ryan's living room applying for jobs that will inevitably reject my American resume.  Employers here have this image that people from other countries aren't in it for the long haul and are just looking for crap jobs - not to mention Fulbright and UW-Madison carry no weight here which makes my resume simply "less than".  

I'm not sure if this was mentioned before but Sydney is expen$ive! around 9 dollars for a burger, 6 bux for a coffee and 40 for some drinkable vodka (you can clearly see where my money goes when I have it).  Thankfully though, I've been able to spend about $30 on groceries for the week.  Essentially I can't start doing anything fun until I find a job!

On the bright side the weather outside hasn't been TOO inviting with its strong winds and overcast gray skies - perfect weather for applying to unattainable jobs, watching the birds outside attack each other, and listening to Disney songs.  Oh, the glorious life I live.
