I got a job!

It will be at the pizza place (Pizza Fresco) which is opening underneath my apartment building next week! I’m excited :) I’ll be waitressing and taking orders via phone and stuff like that. Fairly simple, but still, it’s a job which means money which means I can afford groceries! Furthermore, i’d imagine I can weasel some free pizza out of the deal…

Uni’s going well. I’ve got some mid-semester tests as of next week (Law and BioSci100) and a couple of assessments I really should get started on. Of course, I don’t because I’m a lazy shmuck and would much rather spend my time playing the Sims2. Yes, I really do have no life.

Anyway, going to go sit on my ass for the rest of the day. As if you expected me to do otherwise.

I’m baaaaaaaack!

So, my rump no longer rests in Sydney. It currently rests in Auckland, New Zealand! I’ve been here for about three weeks, but i’ve only just moved into my apartment. The apartment is so nice - it’s very modern, and big enough for one or two people, but it’s not huge. It’s taking a bit of getting used to, though. It’s not quite “home” yet, but it’s getting there. I’ve fallen in love with staring out my window at night. The city lights and the sounds really attract me… I think that’s the biggest part that’s making it feel like “home” to me - it just feels right.

I had plenty of dramas with the furniture though. Not only was the delivery delayed three weeks, but when it actually arrived, the bed, coffee table and one of the bar stools were missing parts or were completely wrong parts. I still have no coffee table or screws for a barstool, so the apartment looks an absolute mess (there’s packaging and parts everywhere.. Walking through it is like walking through a mine field.)

I’m really enjoying Uni too, which is good. Biosci101 is just so basic: It’s all the stuff I did in years 11 and 12 so the lectures are closer to “sleepy time” than “write notes time.” However, my lecture is quite entertaining - he’s completely technologically disadvantaged, but his examples are so very random. He actually brought a live crayfish to the lecture as an example of something with an exoskeleton. Law is so challenging because it’s all NZ law and Maori law. I’m terribly confused, but hopefully James will clear some things up. My other classes are quite good :) Computer Science is fun: Java!

I’ll certainly blogging on a regular basis now that I have a desk in the apartment and time on my hands. Don’t expect a new layout or site changes for a while though - I don’t have the files or programs necessary on my laptop, and my PC is currently floating on the ditch between Auckland and Sydney (i.e. I haven’t recieved it yet.)

Oh: If you’re looking for a link exchange, let me know!
