Ah yes, at the end of today I will once more be 'between jobs'. Well, I decided I wanted a week off anyway, so that's not so bad. It's going to be a combination of relaxation, continued unpacking of boxes (I miss my books, they don't deserve to be all cramped like that, the poor things), job seeking, attempting to write a 50,000 word novel and running around frantically. My schedule for the next week or so:
Saturday: Visit Glenferrie Road, where I have discovered there is an Indonesian Supermarket as well as a bunch of Indo cafes and a bakery (I knew about the bakery). Go figure that I live in an Indonesian hub of Melbourne and never realised. Huh. Also on the schedule for Saturday is visiting Vietnam for pho, preferably without tripe and blood.
Sunday/ Monday: Nothing. How good is that?!
Tuesday: Double swing class, moving us up to Level 2. After a week of no swing, I am excited. Have given up on Spiegel classes, as they work on the theory you have attended no classes at all, including the previous Speigel classes. This means I have learned four super basic Charleston variations. So I'll attend Speigel class next time Scat Pack is performing, just cos they're great to watch. That said, it was fun to discover Gene's family friend Loz from Geelong teaching the most recent Speigel class.
Wednesday: Nothing but an osteo appointment, to which I am looking forward with great anticipation.
Thursday: Nothing but AN AUDITION FOR TEMPTATION! Yup, following in my boyfriend's footsteps (who, incidentally, will tell me nothing about his featuring on Temptation except that I will have to watch on December 1... Oh and that he thinks he made a goose of himself), I will be sitting the quiz to see if I am clever enough to be on that super exciting quiz show. Let's hope, now that I've put it out there in the public realm, that I actually get on... this could be embarrassing.
Friday: Heading back to Geelong, where I will hang out at my old high school. Yah. Cool, huh? *sigh* No, actually, I am speaking to an Indonesian class about my Indonesian trip. Then I'll be hanging out with Jack, checking out her new house (which she owns, not rents. Wooh!), and trying to convince her we should visit her parents for dinner.
(Following) Saturday: Trip #2 to Vietnam. Rice and curries and claypots (oh how I love claypots. Did I mention that my favourite restaurant in Kew, which served the most awesome pork claypot ever, has become a nobby Kew style Chinese restaurant? Complete with Kew decor, Kew prices, and Kew ignore-the-young-customers attitude. *sigh*).
(Following) Sunday: Christmas in November. Family thing to celebrate my Queensland relos visit to Victoria. Normally Queensland is so behind, and yet this year they're a month early for xmas. Unless they're just really late for last xmas... AND, the reason I really went through the whole week... U2!!!!!!!!! Yay! We can redeem our extremely expensive tickets, and sit so close to the stage that we'll be able to smell the B-grade celebrities who get freebie front row tickets!
And that is my life. Hopefully (Following) Monday includes starting a new job.

ReplyDeleteSo what's the go with the new job that you may or may not have started? :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, no new job yet. I've applied for a few, but nothiong yet :(
ReplyDeleteTried swing dance today- turns out it was a really bad week to move up, so I can now follow a basic Lindy, but it was scary as. We're going back to beginners for a few weeks, until our teachers give us the all clear to go up when they're not mid-dance step. So scary!!!!!
Yeah. I had to lead Lindy Hop, with no knowledge of it. I ended up stepping out and just watching the others.
