Its safe to say the past few weeks back in Melbourne have been pretty hectic.
Since the end of February, I've moved from Richmond to Southbank (via a crackden hostel) and now to St Kilda. It's really made me miss mine, Billy and Conor's little Hotham Street flat! It was all a little stressful, but I'm now in a house by the beach with some friends for the last two weeks. On top of all this I had no phone and was working full time so it was all a bit of a nightmare and pretty tiring too.
In other news, I sold my car! I came to the realisation that it was very much needed. The money I could use from this could fund so many fun experiences in Australia. Of course it would be good to go back to a car, but I'm not heading back anytime soon and I'd rather have the memories.
Selling my car has meant that I can fly up to the Gold Coast and meet Billy and Conor etc in Byron Bay on Sunday and join them for the final leg of their road trip. The money has also (finally) given me this little upgrade.
In the month I've been back in Melbourne, I've managed to get a heap of shifts compared to just before I left. One of which I spent 6 hours measuring the centimetres between a napkin and fork on a table. My degree coming into full force there.
I'm still not sure what April or May will have in store for me and farm work is definitely not off the cards. I'm really craving to stay somewhere for at least a month to give me time to unpack and stop living out my suitcase.
It's now been over two months since I've been able to hang my clothes up, and my suitcase is crying out for me to empty out the rest of that Philippino sand.
Though at one stage I had no home and no phone, everything has managed to semi sort itself out... for now at least. And the news that Sophie is coming back to Melbourne in the next couple of months means that everything is bloody great!
