A whole week since updating! Woah!

So on Monday we moved into our apartment at the hotel. We have a bedroom, living room, kitchen and dinning room now. There's a washing machine in the bathroom and a dryer that does a great job of heating, but not so great job at drying. It tries though, poor dryer! We also have a dish washer, which is cool! We had ( Read more... )

SO!

I was a bit teary previously with the housing situation. And it still is sucky. But it's much better now. Things that have helped include; buying clothes on the internet (necessary clothes like underwear), finding out that other people are in similar boats (misery loves company), and a little bit of time. I was more teary about it than I ( Read more... )

We met with the principal today. I still don't know what class I'll be teaching! But more significant is the news that our house won't be available to move into until the end of term 1/start of term 2. We had the option of being moved from our hotel room to a suite. We had a look at one of the suites and it's much more spacious. It contains a small ( Read more... )

Yesterday we arrived in Halls Creek. It's small and red. The stores are old-looking, stained by the dirt. But in the school and hotel, there are lush plants. We checked in at the same time as another teacher, then we met other teachers staying next to us and some teachers opposite from us. To be fair, I'm exaggerating a little. There were 7 of us, ( Read more... )

firstly, I apologise for bad spelling and grammar in recent entries. I'm typically pretty picky about it, but I'm using an app on my android tablet/typing with the on-screen keyboard and generally getting used to it all. Combined that with no easy way to edit my entries after publishing them. I try to pick up as much as I can as I go along, but a ( Read more... )

Last night we spent at Carnarvon, staying with Mum and Dad. It was also Laura's 19th! It's amazing that she's 19 already!! So happy Birthday to my little sis!

We left Atticus with my parents, which is both sad and happy. He was getting pretty annoying. Especially at 3am-ish each and every night! But he's also super cute, and it's sad that he's gone ( Read more... )

Alrighty, we're moving!
Lots of stuff has happened, so I'll fill you in to now.

We're currently in Kalbarri, our first stop on the way to Halls Creek. Our stuff was packed last week on Thursday/Friday. We did a 4WD course the Monday and Tuesday before that, and this Monday-Wednesday, we had some professional development days specific to remote ( Read more... )

So on Tuesday last week I received a call from Halls Creek for an informal phone interview. It went pretty well, though it was obvious I was a bit nervous. 10 mins after hanging up, James received a call from the high school in Denmark You may notice from visiting the wikipedia sites linked that they're on OPPOSITE ends of the state! There are HUGE ( Read more... )
