Day 40: 12/10/12 No call this morning either! It's been a long week doing nothing! I went on the agency website then. I had put in schools within a 10k radius as I thought those 53 would be enough to get something! I changed it to a 15k radius today and now there's 107 schools! Surely one teacher in one of them will get a few sniffles after all the rain yesterday! There was a temporary job advertised a good but outside the city but I applied for it anyway. You'd...

Day 39: 11/10/12 Up again at at c*** shout, all ready for a phone call and nothing!! If this continues tomorrow and next week there's going to be a major change of tactics! I don't know what yet, but well see!! It was lashing rain all day today- just like home. I was sure some teacher would ring in sick when she saw the weather, but no such luck! I couldn't even go for a walk or anything! After having the breakfast I noticed the electricity was gone. There was...

Day 38: 10/10/12 This morning I got up bright and early, put on the teacher clothes, waited for the call............. And it never came! I changed out of the teacher clothes then and dossed for the day. I spent a lit of the time on the laptop. I have so much on my phone now- photos, videos, music, books! I wanted to put stuff on the computer, firstly to back it up, but also to free up space! Of course my phone is connected to the computer at home and it's not s...

Day 37: 9/10/12 I was just noticing that I am over 100 days gone! I had 64 days in South America and am on 37 over here! It's crazy- time has flown! I was woken up a few times last night as the lads came home at various hours with no key! In the morning I decide to go to the shipping centre- there were a lot of hungover heads still sleeping so I thought it was best to clear out! I had to get my hair cut first. That's been on the agenda for a few weeks! I need...

Day 36: 8/10/12 I was woken bright and early by bats, but took my time getting up. I even had a dip in the pool! I didn't do much really. I had to go onto the agency website and tick my availability for the next few weeks. I also registered with the Catholic schools. I had just found out about that before going to Tasmania so I set that up. After that I for lazy as I was tired! I tidied up my stuff and washed some clothes- boring stuff like that. Shane and th...
