Cool job next week
I just got a call from my boss and I am going to be working at the Super Cheap Auto 1000 V8 Supercar Race next weekend (http://www.supercheapauto1000.com.au/)!! The town is called Bathurst is about a 2-3 hour drive west (inland) from Sydney and there are a group of girls going. We are leaving next Wednesday (5 Oct) from Sydney via a bus and will be staying out there through Sunday. I get paid 26$ an hour + travel and food costs!! I'm really excited because I will see a part of New South Wales I have never seen, get to be outside ALL weekend, and meet some new girlfriends too. We will be walking around the pitts for a credit card company that is a major car sponsor and directing people to their marquee where they will be asked to sign up for credit cards (duh...) but whateva should be a good time. Then when I get back I have another gig for Starbucks on Monday the 10th and Thursday the 13th in North Sydney for a new product launch including a TV ad. Lets just say I will be getting heaps of money in early October which means I can do some traveling post uni in November to the Gold Coast/beaches. Very Exciting news!
This week -- spring break -- no plans like I said may work at the fashion show again on Wednesday or Thursday...going to go out a few nights too, and then Saturday is the big Australian Jockey Club Lawn Party/Spring Carnival Race Day. I got a really cute orange and gold dress to wear; I have never been a big fan of wearing either but it looked really good with my beach blonde hair (thanks Sydney sun) and my non-tan/tan appearance. I noticed today when looking at myself that my face looks very dark (? I don't have a tan...) but then again no one has a "tan" here; everyone is just not as pale as what we normally get in Michigan winters thus everyone is always dark/tan. Anyway the dress looks good and I already had gold shoes so this was a selling point as well. Now Sarah and I are planning on working our "A-game" to get into the Social Gossip/scenes pictures they put out in numerous weekly magazines/newspapers and internet sites. Plus there will be "B" and "C" list celebrities there--never know what could happen! ...
Another cool thing this week is the Canadian guy the girls and I met at the landshark last fall who was strangely enough going to grad school in Australia is going to be in Sydney this week; he has never been down to Sydney before so we are going to try and meet up and go out or something. Should be fun since everything will be new to him and that means everything will be exciting as opposed to routine.
What else? Oh since it rained ALL day today I went to the library in the city actually at the Customs House and worked on my outline due in 2 weeks (I know I'm on spring break but I'm going to be really busy in the next few weeks...) and got a library card since I am reading through all my girlie novels so quick here (the sun makes me want to go sit outside and when I do I read for an hour or two) and since books are pretty expensive here I can now check out some of the ones I wanted to read instead of having to buy them....
that's about all for now more to come later!
