Days 45, 46 and 47 - Nautical Cruise
Sorry my life is so boring! I swear September brings more interesting events. Thursday I worked a full day because we had a little catering job and I got to be the server - whoo who! Anyway after that I rushed home for a catnap and a shower. I inhaled dinner and then spent a half hour getting ready for the Whitley Annual Nautical Cruise. The boat was really big and the set up nice. Unfortunately I didn't get any good pics because it was so dark. But there was free Champagne, dancing, and a deck for us to hang out on. We went out into the bay past all the big cranes loading ocean vessels - I tried to get some pictures but they didn't turn out ( I decided against bringing my good camera on the boat plus it didn't fit in my handbag). The night was long and I was happy to finally get to my bed. Friday I took a day to sleep in and recover from the week and spent most of the day cooped up in my room reading, sleeping, or working online. I'm a failure cause I could have been exploring. Saturday I spent the morning doing some job research, I am starting to think it may be a wiser decision to get some type of temporary job for when I get back versus trying to get a full time permanent position. I'm not sure I want to commit to something if I wouldn't be able to interview face to face or tour a facility or anything (granted I was even offered one). I figure a little more experience on the resume wouldn't hurt and it would allow me to explore my options more thoroughly. Now of course I need to find a suitable temporary one... sigh real life!!! Anyway I worked Saturday afternoon because there was a special event at the Archives - it was crowded and very hectic but I figure I didn't have plans so I might as well add a couple of hours this week. I was supposed to meet my sister's friends for dinner, but something came up and we postponed. One of my friends from Whitley had a 21st birthday so handful of us went out for appetizers and gelati! Yum! Afterwards we opted to relax and talk about life in the donut instead of going out. I'm not sure if I mentioned but here the drinking age is 18, so the 21st birthday is more targeted to "becoming an adult" and often people have big catered parties with family and friends and make speeches and such. The parties sound pretty interesting but everyone I know who turned 21 didn't have one! Eh well there's still time, so that's all I've got...
