Post Christmas

Hope you all had a great christmas. Mine was surprisingly good (well not bad anyway!). My lovely mother made up a little stocking to take with me to open on Christmas Day which went a long way! i got a really cool 'bop-it' pen (ask laura), some chocolate money, jelly beans, a little drinking game involving snails (!?!),and some thongs (very much needed at that point due to lack of washing!). along with that, the family betweeen them gave me another $200 to spend, which i have already done! I had a good old traditional fry-up for breakfast, then went down to the beach for a bit, but couldnt swim so got bored and went for a wander round town. the hostel we were staying in had a christmas lunch which we didnt do but joined the party round the pool afterwards which was cool. there were a couple of english guys and a few other nationalities, but not loads of people. in the evening, myself and lili (my room mate) went to an 'orphans' party at the house of one of the guys working on the boat which was basically for anyone who didnt have family to spend christmas with. we had a gorgeous pig spit roast, and bits and pieces for dinner along with a few cocktails.
so all in all, much better than i was expecting!
i officially start work tomorrow, with a uniform that is slightly too big, so that should be fun. we're expected to know everything by now!!! oh well eh?!
ps. laura (and especially) charlotte, please try and remember there is a 9-hr time difference,so the likelihood im gonna reply to a text at 4-5am,is VERY slim!! ;o)
