This is a disaster
Whyyy did I come to Australia?!?! I’ve been here for 3 months (exactly on Sunday) and have nothing to show for it apart from an empty bank account, a nice tan and a tummy full of sushi.
Today I’ve been told that my start date for work has been pushed back for another 3 weeks, and I don’t have enough money to live on until then. I’m now frantically job hunting in the hope that I’ll find something within the next fortnight, but I am really starting to worry about my money situation; I can’t even afford a flight home :(.
I know I should be grateful with what I’ve got, and I appreciate that there are people in Queensland without homes, but I didn’t come to Australia so that I could sit in my flat watching Oprah and The Bold and The Beautiful (which, by the way is such a wank soap opera). I could’ve done that at home and not missed out on seeing my friends and family. I wanted to make the most of the fantastic scenery and the great weather whilst during the week work for an agency that allows me to put my 3 years of study into practice. I hate being unemployed because not only does it prevent me from going clothes shopping and visiting all the tourist attractions but it also means I’m getting seeeeeeriously bored; my brain is turning into mush.
I have all my fingers and toes crossed and hope that my 3 Maneki Neko bring me good luck and fortune within the next 3 weeks, otherwise I’m fucked. In the meantime, it’s back to square one with job hunting. Wish me luck!
