Hello Wellington!

One month I've been in Wellington and what a month it's been! 

Lots has happened, I've found a fantastic flat in Brooklyn, right on the top of the hill with view out over the city, my flatmates are awesome, 2 Americans (one guy, one girl) and a lovely German girl.  Actually it's not fair to call it a flat.  It's a house, like a really nice one!  High ceilings, wrap around porch, modern facilities...and every night we get a stunning sunset - love it!  Oh and we have a cat, sweet!

Jobwise I have just landed a job with Flight Centre.  I am thrilled about this role as it means I will have lots of opportunities to travel with huge discounts.  And best thing of all, any discounts I get, the person traveling with me also gets!  Friday I will be flown to either Auckland or Christchurch to start my training. 

I've started learning the guitar, all online, loving the website Chordie that's helping me learn.  At the moment I'm learning Karma Police by Radiohead and Citizen Erased by Muse (surprise surprise).  I'm not very good but can hear that I'm slowly improving.  Any day now I'll be as talented as Matthew Bellamy...dream on girl.

I've played one game of indoor netball, I almost died, I'm so unfit!  Hopefully I'll get a few more games as it's an awesome winter sport.

Still on the list is learning sign language, and I'd like to have some actual guitar lessons at some stage, I'm sure I'm doing all sorts of things wrong.  And I also want to take up Bikram Yoga, just waiting to have some $$ coming from the job before I commit to too much!  Thank goodness for Usana though, supporting me as I've settled into the new flat and life in lovely Wellington.

A very happy girl right now, life is GOOD!!
