Bad Sheena,

[saffiter]

... .no biscuit!

I've been home for a few weeks now and haven't really mentioned what I've been doing. Bad Sheena!

So, For about the first week or so I was jet lagged to absolute hell! My first day back I lay down, had a nap, and then gave Mum this "Who the hell are you and where the hell am I?!" look when she woke me up. I was really, really out of it.

My second day I went in to International House to line up some work for my holidays. Turns out that with the Qantas/Jetstar/Whatever saying "We're not flying direct to Cairns anymore on international flights!" a lot of students had pulled out of study tours and enrolements were way down, so I wouldn't have as much work as what I normally would. I wasn't so worried about that as I would've been if I was back for good.

I still managed to pick up one really cool two week study tour. When I mean really cool, I mean that I won't really have to teach any English at all. I'll be basically travelling around with them, supervising and joining in on the activities they do. Lesse: White water rafting, horse riding, ATV stuff, Barrier reef trip, Tjapukai, Skyrail, Kuranda train... the list goes on. It's gonna be fun!

I've also got a one week, young learners study tour where I teach them English in the morning and then we do stuff in the afternoon (paint boomerangs, visit the zoo, reef trip etc).

As well as that I've got two days of relief teaching and I'm on call if they need me for anything else.

My parents took me to Cooktown for the first weekend I was back. It was quite fun to run around there. Pretty too! There's some really windy places though. One place, and I have a picture of this, had trees that grew sideward s it was that windy!

The next weekend I went to Brisbane and ran around with some of my old friends. We visited shopping centres, as I hadn't seen a proper one in sooooo long (The one I go to in Poland is rather underwhelming)

We went and saw Kung-Fu Panda as well. Very, very funny that film (though we could've quite happily strangled the little kids in there. It's a movie theatre, not a baby sitting service. If your child is going to wander about the theatre and start fights with other little kids than they're obviously too young to be in there in teh first place!).

And that's pretty much all I've done in the last few weeks since I've been back. Nothing really exciting, I've done a bit of icon making, the newest batches can be found over on

saffiter  (my icon lj), and I've started screencapping PotC3 (the blooper reel at least) and I've made a few icons from it. I also have to do my tax return. BLAH and ICK!!! I say!
