Life update

Hellooo guys,

Haven't blogged in so long! It's been a pretty stressful month, with my last ever university exams and all, but glad that it's all over now! The wait for exam results has been nerve-wracking.. every morning I get up I check Student Services, but still haven't got any back yet.. hopefully I passed everything ><

Been super busy after exams. Thought I would be able to finally relax and enjoy my last ever proper summer break, but I've been working at my parents' business everyday cause they are understaffed atm, and really really busy. So I've been waking up early every morning, and working till 5 in the afternoon. Ugh.. so tired everyday, don't have energy to do anything.

Last night was my friend Halle's engagement/birthday party at Crystal Lounge Bar. Everyone is getting married!!! (Well all of Brandon's friends are hah). One of his good friends is even about to become a dad soon.. lol kinda weird when I think about it. I can't imagine myself getting married for at least another five years, but I'm glad we are on the same page about this. Anyways, happy for all my friends who are entering into a new chapter of their lives! :)

Moving on.. so my start date for Fonterra got moved forward a couple of weeks sigh.. so now I am starting work 4 days after I come back from our holiday. I got a new manager too and she called me last week to ask if I can start earlier, since the current grad is finishing his rotation soon, so she thought it would be a good idea for him to teach me everything in his last two weeks, to allow a smooth transition/handover. I guess it's a good thing for me, so I don't go into work the first day and get totally overwhelmed by everything. I must say.. Fonterra is soo.. active LOL. We have a welcome pizza & drinks next week, and then I'm going down to Hamilton next month, to attend some half yearly conference thing. And we get regular e-mail newsletters, and we're getting paired up with a buddy/mentor soon. I guess that's the good thing about grad programs; they offer you alot of support and help you network and all that jazz.

Something that's been annoying me slightly though is peoples' reaction to me going to Hamilton. That's why I don't really like talking about work, but I always get asked so zzz..
Particularly one person's reaction (who shall not be named cause I am a nice person lol) was all like: "Omg, why are you going to Hamilton.. it's such a shithole.. man good luck with that ay hahahah,' and then he proceeds to keep laughing as if it's such a funny thing. And then starts bragging about his new job, and how much he is getting paid (lol I just wanted to say back to his face: 'Pfft I'm getting paid way more than that' but I didn't cause then I would be stooping to his level). Honestly I hate people who feel a need to show off about everything..

Anyways back to the point, I am only going to Hamilton for 6 months, so it's really not such a big deal, so please stop feeling sorry for me :) I am kinda excited actually, finally get to have my own place, and be independent and not have naggy adults around me telling me to do this and that.

Ok.. I had heaps of other things to blog about but I am running late now. My friend is here from Australia so we are going to High Tea at Stamford. And then I have work later at the bar TT

So will blog more later!
