Employment, Round 2

So I've spent the past couple weeks sending out heaps of applications and fun things like that and tomorrow it sounds like I'm actually getting a job. Not only does the company have a cool name, not only is it located 10 minutes up the road, but it's still in advertising. Yay! I'll post more about that tomorrow after the interview when I've figured out exactly what's included in that job.

I've also made a strict budget I have to follow. It's gonna be weird. I suck at keeping track of money so it's a good thing, though. I also sent my application into Media Design School this morning so I should hear back soon and start sorting all that out. I need 2 people to write letters of recommendation. Not quite sure who I'm gonna have write them up. I know I'm going to get one from someone at Poz but I don't know about the other one. Maybe I'll get em both from there.

I also have some saving goals, including concerts, iPod speakers, actually having a savings account, and a break dancing midget for my birthday party. Because all of that sounds pretty sweet instead of living off not much. So hopefully this job works out and I'll be all squared away. I dunno why but today seemed like a good day to organize and get my life started. Weird.

The Current Status of Me

So I actually haven't written in this once since I got to New Zealand. Kinda ironic, eh?

Well here's your current update. It is currently 8:48 PM on Friday March 2nd, 2007. I'm 19 and sitting on a couch in the flat I moved into about 2 and a half weeks ago. About a week and a half ago I got fired from my job with 3P Advertising. I have yet to find another job. Instead, the past week has been spent sending out CVs to companies, growing a beard, rebuilding my photography myspace page, getting in touch with the photo world in New Zealand, and deciding that I'm applying to go to AUT next semester either majoring in graphic design or photography.

I'm going to make up a day in the life thing next week for you guys so you can see the flat, see the flat mates, and basically give ya a peek into the life of the random 19-24 year old life in New Zealand. You'll enjoy it, I promise.

But yea, just basically saying 'Hi, I'm still alive!' and such. More to come in a much sooner time span than this one.
