Welcome to my new neighbourhood

I just moved. To the sunnier side of Christchurch no doubt about it. I'm living up north in Christhurch now, in a nice gated community fitted snugly between a nature reserve, farms and a newly established suburb. I just thought I should put a few pictures up after all I did move and all. Shall put pictures of my newly built crib once the landscaping is done. One thing though, I was dreading the 40-50 minute bus ride I had to endure in order to get to school. And you thought 1 bus ride was enough. But I take two! The time to get to school does look obscenely long but I reckon, we all need a nice bus ride once in a while. Bus rides are like "me time" in a way and I get to reflect on things whilst watching the sunrise and the sheep grazing in the paddocks. In a weeks time, my 50 minute bus rides would substantially decrease as I will be getting my restricted license which mean I get my own car and I get to drive myself around to all you non-kiwi's out there. Yay-yer! A new found independence.How awesum is that? Haha

School has begun again. Term 3 is going to whizz past fast. I really need to get my act together because next term is crunch time. Last week really was the best week ever I'd say. I went to the Getsmart conference and it was indeed wicked fun as predicted. I will talk more about it in my next post. Ciao.

Mono-colour Wednesday
A week of the school holidays have already passed and I have to say, its been one of the most productive holiday's ever. Esther came over to my new place last Sunday for a mini-sleepover. We watched American beauty and went to the country club for some girly spa time. This week has also been really tiring because I went to the 4 day Natcoll holiday course on Video editing and Adobe Illustrator. Saw the last person in the world that I ever wanted to see in the course as well and that was tragic. It was the absolutely most puke-worthy moment ever when I saw that gangsterish baseball cap poking up behind one of the Mac screens. Trust me. It was horrible. But that aside, we had a great time learning how to edit stuff and the best bit was hanging out with aimee during lunch breaks. Catherine's chicken rice.Dumplings! Mhmm. Haha.

This week I'm going to attend the Getsmart conference which is going to be wicked fun and I'm hoping to get some footage for my documentary whilst I'm there. My documentary is going to be about people and their feet and shoes. Its going to be poetic so that adds to the challenge I guess. I'll keep you updated on the progress of it. Dad got me a new sony handy-cam for this project but I have to pay him back half of it for now. I have to say its the best damn investment he's ever made.
Enjoy the last few pictures of wacky week.
Ciao.

Seniors Wacky Week: Careers Day Friday

Wacky week is the one week that every yr 13 senior at Burnside wouldn't want to miss out. Its a week in which each day is themed and everybody dresses up for school . If its one thing Kiwi's love and its not rugby or binge drinking, its got to be dressing up. ha ha. And its incredibly fun turning up in the wackiest stuff for school. I'm starting off with the last day of wacky day because Mr Glamorlicious wanted to see my flight attendant's outfit!
Friday was careers day and people's costumes ranged from scrub doctors and nuns to sponge bob complete with spatula as well as hobo's. I saw a couple of my fellow flight attendants and pilots hanging around school as well. Fun! thats all I've got to say. trixie dear and my neigbour arsenio
