LIVEALITTLE

I had about given up on Sydney last night. Typically I abhor clothes shopping. I hate it even more when I have an assigned shopping goal. Uni required us to buy a white shirt and navy blue slacks for our hospital rounds next week. I spent last night combing the city. In the midst of combing, I was pickpocketed. Luckily I had cleared my wallet out the day before and lost mainly my ATM and credit card. Still the trust I had instilled in quaint Sydney is now gone. I felt totally betrayed. So, until I get my new cards mailed from the US (10 days), I'll be living on borrowed money.
Worse yet, the door to my shared house was left openned when I arrived. Stricken by a sense of panic, I rushed up to my room to find it was still locked. I guess it was a case of absentmindedness. One of many quirks that have annoyed me with my anonymous flatemates whom I rarely see.
So, so far I have not had much luck in this wonderful world of Sydney. I've decided to take it day by day and keep my chin up. These are the adjustment pangs I need to deal with and things will surely get better when I settle in.
To all those in NY who read my blog... I MISS NEW YORK! Absence does make the heart grow fonder...
