Feel like a lot has happened in the last few weeks, so much so that walking the Abel Tasman at the beginning of December feels like months ago!
Christmas is only a few days away, cannot believe that it is that time of year already! I am working on Christmas day not until the afternoon but still feels like I need to really appreciate the morning so I get the most out of the day. We are having brunch at our house so there will be no need for me to rush. Plus I am working with an awsome crew in the afternoon so we are bringing a feast and the festivity to work!
As always there has been family dramas for this time of the year, mum not accepting the fact that I don't want to stay at hers xmas eve then Grandma not being able to decide what time she wants brunch and her not putting up a Christmas tree, she was moaning at my Aunty about not following tradition anymore all the while; she isn't following tradition.
Feel like I have so much more to get off my chest but don't feel like sorting through my feelings right now..sometime soon.

Camp Whisphering Pines
I have been snapped up already! Thought it would take a lot longer than it has. I am going to a Girl Scout Camp, Whisphering Pines in Louisiana! Camp starts on 25 May through to 17 July. I cannot wait, it is all set in stone now so has made it all the more realisitic.

AMERICA HERE I COME!
I think I mentioned briefly in my last post that I have applied to work in Summer Camp America in 2010.
I filled out my application form, took me about two weeks in total to complete. Was a really long application form which included writing an essay about yourself.
After I completed my application I got an interview, this was held by a previous camper who asked me really interesting questions. The interview went for about 1hr 30mins. At the end of my interview they told me that I would find out in three weeks if I have been accepted.
Today is the start of the fourth week so was starting to think that I haven't been accepted but I just checked my emails and there it was, the acceptance email was just sitting there waiting for me!
So it is offical I am going to America next year for the Summer! I am not to sure where or when yet all I know is that it can be anytime from the beginning of May. Over the next few months my application will be sent to all the Summer Camp Directors in the USA and if they like the sound of me they will ring me, interview me and hopefully offer me a position at their Camp.
YAY! I cannot wait!

I'm Back!!
Howdy All,
Wow it has been a while since I have even looked a my blog let alone contemplate writing on it again but tonight I got a random urge to go have a look at it.
Firstly - don't know why I did, it just bought up all those horrible feelings that I went through last year, ouchy
Secondly - An update on what has changed over the last 12months...(A short version)
It has been a massive year but the best year yet, hoping they are all going to be like this from here on out. I got a new job around April, I am still in the same industry "Tourism" but on a little bit of a different career path. To be honest I think it was the best move I have made yet. I have grown so much and learnt so much about myself over the 7months that it is astonishing!
Yes, I have moved again, I am back at my Aunties but this time it is going well. It tends to help that I am not around all the time so we get our time away from each other to breathe!
Yes, I am single and LOVING it! (well most of the time anyway) I was seeing a guy for a while but he just wasn't for me plus I realised that I didn't want to be attached. Being attached would hinder my plans, plans that I am not going to let anyone get in the way off!
I am starting to get impaitent! I have applied to go work in Summer Camps in the USA in 2010! I have a week and a bit til I find out if I have been accepted! If I don't get accepted it will suck big time but will not let it hinder my plans, I will try work somewhere else in America for the Summer...after that I want to travel around for a month or so afterwards (depends on how much money I have) then after all of that I want to go work down in Te Anau over the Summer!
In just over three weeks I am going to be walking the Abel Tasman with my good friends from High School and I can't wait! It will defintly be a challenge carrying about 20kilos on my back and walking for about 5hours per day but at the end of it I will be so proud of myself and will be something I will never forget!
I am so excited for my good friend who is expecting her first baby in May 2010! Cannot wait to welcome the lil' bub into this world. Her and her partner are going to be fantastic parents, couldn't of wished for anything more for them!
Well I better be off I have a podiatrist appointment in the morning eeekk..
It's good to be back!

Watching the world go by...
My attempt to put up blogs regularly has failed, will try again once I am fully settled.
Why do I feel like everything that is happening around me is a show and I am a member of the audience?
Yes that sounds really odd but it is how I have been feeling for the last week, I am starting to get really annoyed with it. I keep doing that whole shake of the head thing that you do when you have been staring at one spot for a while in a trance, I know how odd it must look to everybody around me. I feel that if I do it every now and again I will eventually snap out of it!
This weekend I am moving AGAIN! This time I am hoping will be a permanent one until I move to Australia! I found out last night that another good friend is moving to Australia next year, there are more and more reasons to go!
Yay! It’s the weekend tomorrow!

Welcome back Summer!
Yay Summer is back! I say back as during the middle of October we had gorgeous weather and we all started getting excited as summer was finally here but we all go to excited to soon as last week it SNOWED! Yes in November it snowed in Christchurch! This is odd as in Christchurch we hardly get any snow in winter as it is…but the last two days the temperature has got up to 26degrees Celsius!!
Hehe today is cup day in Christchurch so that means short week Yay! But what it is really like is a smaller version of Melbourne Cup day. Today we did an office sweepstake and my horse came in 2nd! So I won $5 Yay, it’s not much but it is exciting to me!
The other night I broke the news to the guy that loves me that all I want to be is friends, this went down better than I thought but now I am worried that he thinks that we will eventually get together after I get myself sorted. Hmm to me this isn’t the case, so I am watching every move I make, to make sure I don’t put the wrong signs out there.
On other news I spoke a thought, out loud to my mum that I was going to start looking for somewhere to live, yip that was fine but then she goes and puts the house back on the market! Acting like its all my fault that she bought the house and now I am not going to be living there!! That’s not the case, but hey you can’t tell her that. At the same time of putting it on the market they also put it on trademe, to see if anybody would like to rent it and surely enough a family has come along and wants it! Which I was hoping would happen so she wouldn’t make a loss on the house.
In the mean time I went and had a look at a flat (the lady that does my waxing is looking for a flatmate), the house is smaller than I was looking for, probably about the same as my old flat but its got a decent size back yard and I don’t have to share a washing line with four other flats! She is really nice and we sat and talked for ages, I felt comfortable straight away (this is a big thing for me). I am going to have a look at another flat tomorrow night to make sure I am making the right decision. But I think I am going to go for it!

Been a While
Hello
It’s been a while…a lot has been going on and I am hoping that I can get myself into a good routine to start blogging regularly again… Now where to start??
I joined a gym and have been trying to go three times a week the big word in there is trying, this week all I have managed is twice but that is better than nothing. Today I went to an ab class and man am I feeling it now! Learnt some good exercises with a Swiss ball to work out my abs and man are they good!!
That guy I met turned out to be a dud haha nothing more to say in that sense.
I can’t remember how it came about but me n my ex (that I went out with through high school) started talking again, last week I was having a bad week so he came over to talk n it came out that he still loves me n that he will never be completely happy without me!!
Hmmm well did that make me more lost than ever, I am over him but always will have a soft spot for him. I made the comment the other day that he needed a hair cut, last night he came over to take me out for tea; he had gone and bought new clothes so he would look tidy! Got a hair cut and shaved off his beard all for me!! He also got me some flowers and they are the nicest flowers ever, one red rose one yellow Gerber and one peach/pink rose!! Now the old him would never have done this but in his words he has grown up now I was thinking ok maybe I believe it now. BUT then we went out and got some tea, then went to the video store the whole time I couldn’t relax as it was like I was looking after a child! He acted like a spoilt child the whole time not like a 20-year-old guy.
I have decided that I don’t want to be any more than friends with him, the next step is trying to tell him as I don’t think it will go down well. In all reality though he shouldn’t expect to be any more than friends with me as I have just come out of a difficult relationship so I am no where ready for another one!!
My move went well n for a time being there I thought that I had flatmates but then I tried to get the bond etc from them and they decided that they weren’t going to go ahead and move in anymore! Argh now I am back in the same boat with no flatmates!!
At the moment I feel like I am stuck in one spot at the moment n if I go anywhere I go backwards! Never forwards!! For once I would just like to go forwards even a small step forward as long as it is a step towards getting things sorted!
