Write a letter

Dear Christine,

How are you? I've just been lazying around at home on a Sunday and decided to write you a letter. I'm so slack, I really should be doing my management assignment due tomorrow. But you know me, I procrastinate whenever I have the chance. Its like I get some sort of sick thrill from leaving assignments to the last minute and completing them just before it is due. It may have worked for me all through high school, but this bad habit should NOT be carried on to university.


Anyways, where in the world are you now? I know that you've always loved travelling. Maybe your new career path has taken you somewhere exciting and exotic? Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you are having the time of your life.


I'm doing okay, still settling in and getting used to everything after about a month. I have a lot more freedom, but with freedom comes a price. I have to learn to take better care of myself. I now have to cook and clean for myself too. But that was something I need to do sooner or later anyway. I still miss all my friends and family in NZ, but its slowly getting better.


Is your hair still brown with an orange tinge, and length way past your elbows? I remember how important your hair was to you, and how your friends would occasionally joke about cutting it short when you weren't looking.  


Are you are taking good care of yourself? You always had the worst eating habits. And sleeping patterns. I hope you aren't still making your mum worried about your health and well-being at 28 years old.

Week 4

I  have my first ever university assignment and test next week. I should be more worried, but for some reason I am not.

Just wait till Sunday Night.


Volunteered for careers expo at UNSW! So boring, just handed out fliers :(

Taking skyping to the next level! Two laptops at the same time :)

4 MINUTES TO SAVE THE WORLD

So I finally got around to making the video of our HK trip!
Its been like 3 months now (yes, I know, I am so slack)

Nothing fancy - 


I uploaded the video both on youtube and on my blog, just in case either one takes it down cus of the music.


Oh lame, just realised you can't watch the video above in full screen.


So here is the link to the youtube one too

I had a little too much fun with the transitions, as you can probably tell from the video.
I had to condense around 10days of videos, 80+ minutes of clips into a four minute video, which was not easy.
There are so many other clips that I would have liked to put in, which I'd probably do some other time. Maybe I'll make another one when I have time.


But next video: Thailand trip !

Fast and not-so-furious update

My second week of uni is pretty much over, even though it is only Wednesday night atm.


I changed my timetable last week because a few people said how crap mine was for a commerce student.




Yeah so I basically get two days off now, which is a little bit better than the last timetable.
But I guess it really doesn't matter seeing I live so close to the campus and it only takes like 5 minutes Christine-pace to get home after lectures.


The weather is very strange in Sydney. It gets very hot on some days, and on others (like now), it gets cold and rains. I just heard thunder. 
Reminds me of Auckland weather, but a bit more to the extreme.

How have you been Christine?

It is the 10th day since I've been in Sydney, 5 days since uni has started.

And things are going ... well, I guess.

Lectures have started, but I only have like 8 hours this week, which means I have a lot of free time to myself. For the past week, I've sent out my resume out to around five different places now. My cover letters aren't very well written though, but I couldn't be bothered researching how to write a good one so I sent it out anyway. Hopefully, I can get a job to occupy some of the free time I have oh so much of.


My very 'full' and time-consuming schedule


UNSW campus is quite nice, it has more of a university-feel than Auckland Uni. So far, I haven't gotten lost or anything, but that is probably because I haven't been to half my campus yet.
