I'm staying

Yesterday was The Big Day that I've planned and prepared for for months... The day when I finally applied for my permanent Visa! They tell you that it will take about 6 months to get it processed, but guess what? I got it straight away! It took maybe 15 minutes, then I got the Visa glued into my passport. So now I can stay for 2 years (as. long as Mick puts up with me...), I can work full time, study, travel, get Medicare... everything! And once those 2 years are up, I might get my permanent Visa! Such a big weight has been lifted from my shoulders, I can start planning my life here, without having to wonder if I'll have to leave in August.

Oops, Mick just came home, I'll go be social now...

Bye

I have a job!!!

I am so happy right now!
For the last couple of weeks I've been to interviews for three different jobs, two temporary and one permanent.
The permanent one is for an education center, with courses mainly in english, cooking and tourism. It's located just a couple of blocks from Mick's job, and the people there seem soo nice! And I got it!
Not quite sure yet about what day I'll start, but in the next couple of weeks... I'll be the second receptionist, but since they aren't fully staffed yet (they just had the first students start), I'll be doing very many different things.
From their first phone call, I just felt that this would be the perfect job for me, something that I've only gotten more convinced about every time I've been in for interviews.
Life is good!
Now I'm gonna vacuum, do the dishes and laundry, might as well use this adrenaline rush!

Happy!
