Update on To Do List

So it's been about a month and what progress have I made on the to do list.

I've got fishies!!! I'm pretty sure they're telescope eyes (love the name) but animates called them nymphs.

Turns out they're really hard to take pictures of. The orange and white one is "Sharkbait" and the black one is "Kermit". They're pretty lazy instead of swimming to the top to eat the food they wait for it to come to them and Kermit always missing the food and takes naps in the stones. 

Also volunteer wise I have signed up with the SPCA to do volunteer work but still waiting to hear back. 

And finally half-marathon, at the moment I am contemplating doing the Wellington round the bays in Feb. Also with this marathon there is the option to 'run for research' with the money going to the Malaghan Institute, which would:

1. Aid research in cancer, asthma, diabetes and MS

2. Help increase job positions for scientists struggling for jobs

Pretty good stint into the to do list me thinks

I'm Lovin' It

A lot of songs evoke memories of where I hear them especially if i was having a good time. This one is now forever gonna remind me of driving around dunedin in my friends car last weekend :)

Just a Short One

I have finally started reading Eat Pray Love, which kindly enough Julia Roberts is narrating in my head for me.
It's a very different writing style than I'm used to but I love it. So far my favourite quote is:

"The only thing more unthinkable than leaving was staying; the only thing more impossible than staying was leaving. I didn't want to destroy anything or anyone. I just wanted to slip quietly out the back door without causing any fuss, or consequences..."

Making some plans

WOO its been a while since I blogged sorry guys.
So I'm in wellington now, after 9 hours of travelling uuugghhh, which I was partially hungover for cos I went to my friends engagement party the night before.
I'v been thinking since I got here about what's going to be my next step, which I guess is wierd since I only just moved here, but its not exactly a step for me. Infact job wise I'm going down a peg.
But its started me thinking about what I do want to do jobwise, and I'd really love to do IVF, I think it'd be awesome to be able to help ppl have babies, 90% of ppl want them eventually and the people that struggle are always so sad, it would be amazing to help them out, make them happy :)
UNFORTUNATELY its a really hard biz to get into, you can do degrees at Monash, or Oxford, but fees are over 40,000 NZD....
So anyone want to give me a scholarship??
Have been doing some cheeky looking online and some place in perth is advertising for an andrologist not needing exp!! should I apply?

Wellingtonia

So I am getting freaking excited for Wellington, I went up last weekend for a job interview and its going to be so awesome. I got offered the job YAY, complete surprise as I'm pretty sure the interview went crap.
the job is in the Hutt so I'll have to travel  a little to work but nothing compared to what I'm doing now.
The flat is awesome but it does have 100 steps to get to it.

Anyway recently I have been reading this book called the single girl's to-do list, and I have decided that even tho I am not single, I still want to make a list of things I want to do. In the book she gives herself two weeks but I'm going to make mine for the next 1 year.

1. Have a job I love or have a decision made on what direction to go in for further study
2. Get a new piercing/tatoo.
3. Run a half-marathon without stopping (unless I have to tie up my shoe)
4. Start learning a new language
5. Do some volunteer work
6. Go to another country I have never been to before
7. Buy an eye cream and actually use it
8. Go on the vertical bungee/actually bungee jump
9. Buy something discustingly expensive and selfish
10. Get a pet

Tadaa!!! Stay tuned to see if I actually do it

Best Monday Ever

Yesterday was the best Monday of all time! It was a snow day!!!
My sister and I spent the day alternating between watching movies inside in the warm and building a snow family (which kept falling over), throwing snowballs, making snow angels and sliding down the gully on a metal rubbish bin lid (you get REALLY wet, but it is awesome fun).
