Jillaroo

---

Sorry I haven't written anything in awhile. I've been working for the past 6 days, and I've been so tired.

Danielle and I might be going elsewhere for awhile before Christmas. Danielle is having a problem finding work, and Adelaide is rather boring. We're thinking about finding work on a cattle station in the outback. I'm gonna make a phone call tomorrow and see how we would go about this. I think being a Jillaroo would be fun! Well...at least for a little while.

Umm...ya. Not much going on. I'm sort of picking up the lingo here already. I say 'heaps' a lot (like, "thats heaps funny," or "its heaps good,"). I haven't started saying 'reckon' yet, but I'm thinking it, so its really only a matter of time. I say dodgy and shifty with an Australian accent, since I never said them until I got here.

Well...thats all the news for now. And seriously guys, I'd appreciate an email so I know how you are. I've gotten nothing since I got here, and I feel like y'all have forgotten about me!

A Jillaroo is a female working on a cattle station. Men are called Jackaroos. Basically, they're farm-hands.
