I finally finished my 3 month probation at work. now I am permanent part time (30 hours a week - uni takes up two afternoons a week) and instead of my pay going down now that I get holiday/sick pay, my rate stayed the same. I'm so happy.

Mind you, it's still only $540 a week gross (so i get like $470) but that's pretty good seeing as I'm back at uni and my job is really easy anyway!

Plus my boss gave me the option of during holiday time (uni breaks and so forth) I can either stay on 30 hours a week (keeping monday and tuesday afternoons free) or can work the full 38 hours if I need the money.

By Christmas I shouild have enough holiday time to save up and visit Clara in the UK. Adam wants to come too. Plus now that's I'm full time I can buy a new car - hurray!
