Ghost Town

So…I know if you read both blogs you will read this twice but we’ve finally gotten some jobs and are going to be heading there tomorrow to start work. We don’t know our exact start date but we know there’s a big event type thing on Saturday where we will meet everyone so we’re very excited for that.
I’m unbelievably excited to have our own room and be able to unpack our bags and have our own shower where we don’t have to carry our stuff to the bathroom in ziplock bags. I mean we had that at Cam’s for a month but it’s nice to have it again especially after being in hostels for the past couple of weeks. We had to buy a couple of things for our trip and I got some awesome tanks from target for cheap. I sometimes really wish that we had target at home.
Also, man it’s crazy to be able to say we’re going to be living in a hotel for 3 months and that it’s paid for. And that we’re being reimbursed for our flights to this job. That would never happen. And the beach is seriously five minutes to walk to from work/home. I’m hoping to have a pretty solid tan by the tan I get home. I just don’t want the skin cancer that might come with it. I don’t want that at all. I think being out here is the first time that I’ve really used sunblock so much. I put it on every day that we are going to spend time outside. There was one day in Melbourne when we walked to St. Kilda that I didn’t wear it because I didn’t think that it was that hot, I mean I was wearing jeans and I wasn’t sweaty but when we got home I had an awful burn. I don’t think I’ve been that red here yet.
I’ve sent a few letters home and I’m anxious for the people to get them. I love getting mail and sending mail so it was definitely something that was fun to do. We sent a couple things with presents by sea already so hopefully they are there when we get home. It’s such an awesome feeling to get mail especially when its letters rather than email.
Okay, I’m wrapping this up. I know it’s random but I lack inspiration. I will hopefully post once I get to our job to let you all know how it’s going.
