Sorry for the delay

First let me start by apologizing to those of you who have been waiting impatiently for me to update the blog.  (I won’t mention any names, but it starts with an Er and ends with an ic.)  I’ve been having a bit of writers block.  There haven’t been any exciting beach adventures.  Mostly it’s just the day to day work adventures, which are going well by the way.  Things are starting to pick up and I will be taking on my own clients (with my supervisor’s supervision).  They had a welcome tea for us and a new OT that started on Monday.  We tried some authentic Australian cuisine…vegemite (it wasn’t too, although it was in a thick roll so I couldn’t really taste the vegemite), Tim Tams (we’ve already been through a couple packages of these delicious cookies), Cherry Ripes (cherry dipped in chocolate), and my personal favorite Anzac biscuits.  Like I mentioned previously, my supervisor, Kate, and I have are going to get along great.  We have similar organizational styles AND she hates chalk boards as much as I do.  Yesterday was project day.  We have three projects we will be working on throughout the semester.  Two of them are going to be great resources to use if I end up working with children.  The third project has already helped me know what resources are available at the center for therapy sessions.  So thus far things are going great.

Last Saturday we watched the replay of the footy final.  Our friend, Ben, suggested we go to a Seaview Tavern which is owned by a former Fremantle Dockers player and the captain of the team.  The former player, Paul Halseby, was watching the game there.  It’s crazy because he is only 29 and has already retired from the sport.  He talked with us for a while and kindly agreed to take a picture.  (I can't get the picture to load in the blog so you can check out the album to see the picture.)

We are getting quite proficient at riding the bus.  Yesterday we had to go to Subiaco (it’s a suburb about 30 minutes away) to pay our rent.  Not only did we find it, but it only took one try.  Thankfully, the bus drivers are very friendly and willing to help when you don’t know which stop to get off at.

This weekend we are planning to go to a charity footy game played by former players in Subiaco.  Unfortunately, I will also be working on homework again this weekend.  I have to complete a mid-term paper.  Don’t teachers realize I am in Australia and should be spending time at the beaches instead of indoors doing silly homework?
