Best and Worst: We want to hear about your week.

Happy Friday and welcome to this week’s Best and Worst. If you haven’t hung out at Mamamia on a Friday before, let me give you a quick run down on how it works.

Best and Worst is where we all come together to discuss the best parts of our week, the worst parts of our week, and really anything in between. Anyone is welcome and we want to hear whatever you have to say.

Let us chat, reminisce, rejoice, commiserate and share over coffee, tea, hot chocolate or a sneaky vino – whatever takes your fancy.

I’ll go first.

Best: The best for me this week is, no question, starting an intensive internship at Mamamia. It’s been a hectic week, doing my best to make like a sponge and absorb as much knowledge as I possibly can from the team in the short time that I’m here.

I’ve also been enjoying my final weeks in the life of a Sydneysider before I go back to my Victorian roots. You can catch me strolling around Darling Harbour, enjoying the sunshine and generally feeling gleeful that I’m missing the 40+ temperatures Melbourne has been suffering through. (Sorry family!)

Worst: PACKING. Oh dear lord, the packing. Procrastination is not an option either, because people have to come and actually LOOK at the room. I have an inkling that a floor-drobe wouldn’t be the most appealing sight. On the to do list: tidy EVERYTHING.

Just as enjoying Sydney falls under my best, my mixed emotions sort of qualifies it for my worst as well. I’m thrilled about how much more I’ll be able to see my family and friends from home, but at the same time I’m leaving a city and a whole bunch of friends that I absolutely adore. But that’s life. As my (very wise) mother would say, “swings and roundabouts”.

I’ve rambled for long enough – tell us about your week!

What’s on your mind? What’s your best and worst?
