Life Back in Melbourne
My AMS thesis may be due in 2 months, but I'm definitely lacking the motivation to work on it just yet. Maybe it's time for a new challenge... time to get a paid job of my own so that at least I know that my efforts aren't going to waste!
The search began last week (I never knew that searching for a decent part time or casual job would be so difficult - guess it has to do partly with the fact that I'm an international student). Anyway, for the moment at least (having met with much frustration after enquiring with several cafes and restaurants), I'm putting up with the first offer I received - a store assistant position at a bakery, where the hours are average (5pm - 9.30pm, 3 days a week) and the pay fairly miserable ($8 per hour).
Work began Friday, and continued this week. The working conditions are pretty good I must admit (I get to help myself to free orange juice once in a while), plus the colleagues have been really helpful and friendly, but I'm still hoping that a better opportunity, in terms of salary, might arise in the near future.
Guess I'll just have to wait and see...
