Hey,
so I'm terrible at updating, but i have a good excuse-- I dont have my laptop plug so I can't use it. Ashley has it...and we've been split up. heres the short version. we both had jobs pruning on a farm in stanthorpe, then ashleys farm closed over a family dispute-- retarded really- so she didnt have a job... but we need the money, and its the only job I could find so I still took it...because she told me to.. and she went to bundaberg where she was told she'd get work...but still hasn't. So we're desperately trying to get her in to my working hostel but she has to wait until a girl quits so she can take her spot. likely that wont happen for another week or so...which is frustrating, so she's looking into this other farm where you work for food and accomodation only, but its in the same little town that i'm in... so we're trying....
Stanthorpe is in the middle of nowhere, 3 hours from Brisbane, and is the only place that it SNOWS sometimse in the winter.. OF COURSE!!!!! so the first day it was absolutrely freezing and I wasn't impressed in the least bit... I had like 3 layers of clothing on. but it's warmed up since, I got a sunburn on my face despite wearing lotion 3 times a day. Work is 8 hours long, pruning trees, and you have to carry around a heavy ladder.. so my back aches and my fingers cramp up halfway through the day, but its not terrible....and I get about $600 a week that way...guaranteed 39 hours a week unless it rains or snows. So that's nice... I'm going to try to keep this job as long as I can .... but I'm already wishing I was anywhere but here. it would be better if ashley was here...dean's trying to get in as well because he really needs the work...but i dont know how lucky they'll be.
I miss home because I'm alone. the people here are REALLY nice and most are travelling alone anyways, so you make friends easily, but its not the same...
Anyways....that's what I'm up to... sorry for the lack of communication. love you all.
