Week 12/13: Rain Hits Sydney

Thank God for moms who remind you that "You're behind on your blog..." Or even better, "I like you friends' blogs better." Sherri 2 - Lyndsay 0.

The past two weeks have been unfortunately rainy here, though my 21st birthday was last week! Not quite as exciting overseas when you can already drink, but still a milestone I suppose... I'm not a huge fan of people making a huge deal out of my own birthday, though I was thrilled with all of the suprises. My mom managed to have miniature cupcakes sent to my internship office, and my Big Chelsea and Little Mandy sent me flowers to my apartment in downtown Sydney. My birthday evening after work was spent atop the Sydney Habour Bridge overlooking the city and surrouding harbours with my roommates Chelsea and Julie. The rain fortunately subsided that evening, and we watched the sunset from the top of the bridge. It was truly beautiful, though we couldn't bring cameras up for liability purposes and you'll just have to take my word for it. I was nervous for my interview of Yahoo Australia's CFO the next morning, so it was a fairly uneventful night, but Chelsea brought the roommates together at Baxter's for more cupcakes (FACT: I love cupcakes) and some champagne before heading home.

Last weekend was pretty rainy, so there were a fair amount of hours spent at Starbucks getting work done (aka pretending to work and singing along to the Michael Buble Christmas songs playing). Actually though, it was spent loooking for Spring/Summer work and internships. While I might not be ready to leave yet, my wallet most definitely is!

Looking forward this weekend to a Saturday brunch and hopefully some beach time if the weather clears up :)
