Sorry folks!

Hey guys, it's been a while since my last update and I do apologize.

I have been really busy at work recently and have actually been moved into the bar! That's right, Aidan is a bartender. I'm mostly doing cocktails, but I am also really good at pouring beers and making pretty much all coffees. For all of you who may or may not have known before (I know I didn't), a Macciatto is a shot of coffee with a teaspoon full of milk froth laid on top or stirred onto the surface of the crema (the milky brown stuff that rises to the top of the coffee when first poured). Yeah.

I am also proud to say that I have completed all of my Christmas shopping already. Mom, Dad, Hunter and Courtney will all be thrilled to find that they aren't getting a home made Christmas card and a clay model, dripping with PVA glue. Now that I'm making money, I have decided that for my first Christmas abroad, I will be buying people some quality gifts that hopefully wont end up in a drawer somewhere.

Also, my mom and I have been working really hard. Well, she has been working really hard, to get my applications to universities sent off before the deadlines and I'm really happy to know that I have finally gotten the applications ready and sent off and can now relax and make some money before December, when I will be spending the month with my girlfriend.

During my month off, I will be applying to different restaurants and probably a few other types of companies or businesses as well, so that I can get back to Hamilton Island, make a few applications around the island and if after a week, I can't get a place to work, I will take my OzExperience bus south to brisbane and hopefully by then, I will have heard from one of the places I had applied to during my time with Courtney. If I get to brisbane and I havn't heard anything, I will continue southward to Melbourne and meet up with my friend George who is also working in my bar right now and find a job there. Melbourne has been called the "most livable city" in australia and apparently, it resembles London on a smaller scale, with cafes and restaurants always looking for bartenders and waiters.

I have also received a date for my rescue diving course here on the island. With any luck, I will be a certified rescue diver by the 17th of november!

I got a new camera too and will be uploading a bunch of new photos as soon as I can find a computer that will let me access the files on the memory card. all the ones here are like "NONONO!!! we dont let you upload stuff because you not administrator!!". Oh well, I guess it will happen when it can happen.


theres a fat guy watching videos of parrots dancing next to me and he is FULLY absorbed into the screen with his face almost against the screen and his jaw hanging down to the floor with wonder. Hilarious.

peace.
