Land Down Under Days 31-33


Hello to Monday.
Today was a great day at work. I started a new project for the office and spent my day catagorizing lists and writing blogs. Love this job! Seriously the best interning experience. I love feeling like a part of the team and a valuable member.
Tonight was a night for Poker at Cheers bar! ( And yes most everybody knows your name...lol) It was a cute little bar and looked nothing like the movie but still fun. I actually did relatively well in poker and even beat out my boss, which never happens when we go to poker. I guess lady luck must have been a little bit on my side.
Poker was fun!
Aussie lingo
Rug up- bundle up to keep warm
Spelling is different here as well- colour, favourite, harbour, programme, etc.

Tuesday,
Tuesday was another great Internship day. I spent alot of my day researching for articles. I get to write and comment on things for Dog lovers, Cat lovers and write posts about things that would be interesting to Aussie women- like fashion, culture, books etc. I also began some work in cultivating new clients for 33. I am calling companies asking if they would like our services and setting up meetings for my directors. Pretty awesome stuff.
Tuesdays are Trivia night in Bondi Beach so we headed out for a night of Aussie trivia. Aussie trivia is an American epic failure... but we came in 2nd to last which was pretty cool. The questions were pretty unfair to nonAussies but still very fun to play.
I also got a free ride on the bus, long story.
Anways Tuesday was a great day! G'day!

Wednesday
Interning went great today. I spent my morning writing an article about designers making clothing lines for dogs. What is the world coming to honestly but I guess if you can afford it why not? LOL.. I also wanted to thank Tasha for her kind words about my blog! It makes me feel good to know someone cares about what I am up to.

Harry Potter mania overtook the Sydney streets tonight! I loved the movie...it was epic. And I got to watch it in IMAX 3d on the Darling Harbour. It was pretty much amazing and the cinematography is unparralled. I would give it 4.5 stars as it should have been more in 3D since I paid a little bit more for it but oh well.
New Harry Potter word:
Snogging- making out--cracked me up!!!

These past few days have been great. I feel like a real Aussie running about the city. I have really enjoyed this experience and I love the Aussies that I work with and the ones I have had the priviledge to call friends. I must go to bed now as it is getting pretty late and tommorow is another exciting day!
Until then, G'day!
