Christmas & New Year's

EY makes us take two weeks’ of leave over the Christmas period. Right up until the break I was resenting the fact that I have to take leave, but now I realise how much I needed it. I was very run down and I didn’t even realise it. Working full time and studying is turning out to be harder than I thought.

The first week was spent catching up with friends who come back from overseas to get a brief glimmer of Australian summer. It reminded me how awesome it would be if everyone simply came back to Australia and we could hang out all the time – you know who you are :)

The second week I spent in a diving trip from Melbourne to Sydney with my family. I’ve never seen that side of the coast before, whereas I’ve been to the Great Ocean Road a dozen times. If fact, I’ve never been beyond Lakes Entrance. There a lot of nice beaches along the way, but I can’t say there was anything I have a burning desire to go back to except Jervis Bay National Park:
