Day 70: 11/11/12 10 weeks!! I'm longer in Australia now than I was in South America! I've been gone for 19 weeks altogether! I had a few things to sort out today. First I'd to tidy the room. Then I booked flights to New Zealand. Then I got some food for the week. All the jobs done!! I'm flying to New Zealand on the 3rd of Jamuary, doing the Stray bus tour from Auckland and flying back on the 28th of January. It should be good!! I read for a while then. There ...

Day 69: 10/11/12 Major sleep in this morning! I had to fax a time sheet to the agency payroll office for the childcare work. Faxing is the only way they do it. They had said you could fax from a library. So I walked all the way to the library, in the rain, an they said they had no fax services! They directed me to a news agency which I had passed that they thought sent faxes and I got it sent there, but it cost me five dollars!! It rained for the whole day tod...

Day 68: 9/11/12 Shane's birthday today- he's 25!!! That makes me awful old! I got a call to work today in the school I was in last Thursday and Friday. It was year 2 this time.

Day 67: 8/11/12 I didn't get a call from the teaching agency so I didn't need to worry about letting one of them down! I went to the childcare centre for 8:30. They didn't seem to be expecting me and didnt really know where to put me so I don't know why they asked for someone from the agency! I was supervising outside for a while in the morning, playing with a few kids. Then I was going between the nursery and the toddler room relieving people who were going fo...

Day 66: 7/11/12 I got a call from the teaching agency this morning when I was in the shower- a bit of a scramble to answer it! And no, I didn't do an Alva on it- I managed to get out!!

There was another year 1 and 2 class next door. I don't know why they mix them and ...
