I'm sitting here at Federation Square.
It's a public building with cafes, art galleries, free yoga and pilates classes, etc. very cool. It also has free internet which is one reason I stopped by. I'm still in search of an OT job. I've got to update the good ol' resume and hit the job market hard tonight. I'm about to go to one of the many museums in the city since it is raining off and on.
I'm living in Essendon which is just northwest of the city.
I have 3 roommates, Ben, Sal-Lee, and Jen. I haven't seen much of Jen, but Ben and Sal-Lee have been fantastic. The first night, Ben drove me around the city and helped me settle in. Sal-Lee has been super helpful with public transportation, and she's a wealth of city and travel information. She's traveled all over the world so she's got some great tips! I feel so blessed to be here!
Earlier this week we went to a petting zoo, and I got to see and pet kangaroos, koalas, and wombats! It was amazing!
Okay! I'm officially totally jealous! I am so glad your roommates are good! Good luck finding a job!
