Scary new beginnings

So the past week I have finally got the last of my enrollment stuff sorted for AUT. Its a scary thought going back to Uni after working and doing my photography. 6 months ago I was adamant I was not going back to uni and I refused to even give it a second thought. I was determined to just keep fighting to find a position in ECE no matter what. 

I received several lectures from two close people about why I should consider it and yet me and my stubbornness still stuck to the NO I wont do it plan... Till November arrived and I had set myself a deadline to find a job in Auckland. The deadline lapsed, I still kept applying but I agreed that I really should enroll at Uni and it went from there. 

So last Friday I took paperwork in that they required and "A"and I went for a nosey around the city campus... We found the library and I was quite happy that I could spend copious amounts of time there... *insert nerd face here* lol.... 

I have also had to start looking for a new place as the lease on the Apartment runs out just as Uni starts in March and with "A" heading out of Auckland I decided what better way to start the year at uni with somewhere I am happy and hopefully reunited with Ninja-Kitty, so the hunt is on...

I had a phonecall last week from an ECE Centre I had an interview at a few months back. One that was interesting as I remember it clear as day now, as I channeled a comment someone always tells me when  im having one of those days lol.... They are keen to see me in a month or so to possibly sort a Teacher-in-Training Position so that would be great...

Although I also have an interview tomorrow with another centre which sounds promising.. I think at this point in time anything promising is good and a great way to keep my mind off other matters. 

So far January has been a weird month... In some aspects I feel like I am missing a limb so to speak. Other aspects I am now back enjoying the gym and taking out my frustrations there like I did when I was in Welly. 

I am off to see family in Invercargill in just over a week and am really looking forward to it as its been just about a year since I saw them when I left Christchurch... 

Hello 2013......

So 2013 has been here just about a full 7 days & it's already been a rollercoaster ride thus far...

I saw the New Year in reflecting on the past year and all it held while sitting on the beach front watching waves crash & the moon (which was freaking huge compared to normal) reflecting on the water....

2012 was one that started out with hope & a plan... The plan changed to one I didn't expect at all. It taught me a lil more about myself as a person, a lot about what life can throw at you & what I can handle. It also taught me A LOT about TRUST!

Along with having to say goodbye to some I thought were friends etc... it also taught me that family is what you make it & sometimes friends really are the family you pick for yourself...

All and all it was a rollercoaster ride that I managed to survive, and I wouldn't change it!

2013 has been here 6 days and I have already had obstacles thrown this way....

I have had stuff I got out of storage along with my laptop stolen...

Strange news from home (chch)....

But also Amazing news from a very close friend/family which has me believing anything can happen if you dream a little..... :-)

That hindsight is a great thing! But sadly never helpful when you need it so giggling & hope at least help...

I have even started back at the gym & found my determination again.... (OK admittedly I was pushed to find something to do lol but in doing so have remembered why I enjoy going etc)...

So this year is one I shall hopefully stay focused-ish on the plan & goals I have set.... (I say ish because nothing really goes how I plan lol)..... but onwards & upwards!!
