New beginnings

I couldn't find a job.
I've started a certificate III in Fitness, which leads on to a certificate IV in Fitness...which means that I can be a personal trainer, or work with group fitness....I'm doing it online, so that I can cram in as much as I can before my Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Primary) starts at the end of July. This year is now the year of taking on new skills! It's also the year of checking out this huge country and deciding if I want to be here.

I have an awesome little scooter, zipping around the coast on it. It costs $3 to fill up, and that lasts 100km!

I'm swimming in a 50m heated outdoor pool, cycling around the countryside - coastal routes or mountain routes galore, running with a serious group twice a week - intervals and hills. (My right shin has been hurting, and my right hip has also been a little sore. I think it's because the running that I'm doing is the toughest I've ever done in my entire life - I'm taking a week off to see how it is.)

I'm still missing people...but am thankful for the world that is facebook, and emails, and iphone applications!
