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!
