The very best and the very worst of the week…
Today is F R I Y A Y! Which means A) It’s nearly the weekend and B) It’s time for ‘Best and Worst’!
So let me tell you about my week and then you can tell me about what’s been happening in your week.
Best
The past two weeks I have been interning at Mamamia and it has been the first real time I have spent living and working in Sydney and I have absolutely loved it!
Sydney has so much to offer but what I have loved the most is Sydney’s glorious beaches. Last Saturday I was able to start my weekend walking from Coogee to Bondi with my aunty.
I was in awe of every beach that we saw along the way and finishing at Bondi was definitely the cherry on top! What everyone say’ about Sydney’s number one beach is definitely not an exaggeration, so, I plan to walk there again tomorrow.
Worst
I think what I am about to write about next is fairly predictable: the weather.
The worst part of my week has been watching the news every night and seeing the extensive damage to communities and homes throughout NSW.
The storms that have hit NSW this week have caused so much devastation but I think we can all take comfort in the efforts made by our emergency services and SES volunteers. So, thank you.
Now it’s your turn, how was your week? Let us know in the comments.

Best: when the storms cleared in Sydney Thursday and we walked across the Sydney harbour bridge after a long day/days at work.
Worst: Symptoms of anxiousness and anxiety (which my doctor is helping me with) are wearing me down - and while work is fine, it's the trying to hide it when at work and do the best i can that is hard. but then sort of proud of myself that I have got through another week without resigning!
Best, best: without knowing it, my colleagues with me in Sydney are actually helping me at this difficult time with simple, kind gestures - and the demanding ones in Melbourne-well distance is a good thing!!
Best: Received pre-authorization for a mortgage today. In the US, agents won't even consider you eligible unless you have this piece of paper, and, as non-US citizens it's been a little more difficult for us, but we got it! Let the house-hunting begin!
Worst: Lots of uncertainty at work. New CEO is an unpredictable pendulum of anger, hot-hotheadedness, and intense intelligence, and he's causing what feels like unnecessary angst for a large majority of the firm. Sigh. Things were so perfect here for a while... Let's hope this is just a "new guy" phase.
OMM: ANZAC Day. The last post always makes me cry. Used to always spend this day with my beloved grandmother, who passed away last year. Will be thinking of her and the sacrifices she and many others made (and continue to make) for our great country.
