R & R
I'm warm, rested, and well fed. For those that don't know me, this pretty much ensures that I'm happy. I'm done some work for school (which I'm pleased about). Also, I just checked my bank account. I recieved my first pay! Woo hoo! It's pretty exciting. I'm all grown up
Tired
Work is tiring. 6pm-midnight is long especially when you're on your feet the whole time (aaand when you have to get up for school the next morning). I'm feeling a little under the weather today. I've taken the day off so I should be fine by tomorrow. My feet hurt. I'm going to invest in some compfy black shoes for work. I thought that I'd hold out until I've received my first pay check, but alas, it must be done. oh well, enough with the moaning. I guess it makes me appreciate that I'm going to be a doctor some day... :) And having the part time job is helping to teach me how to cope with long hours. Since I'm not on call for Healthcare of the elderly of General Practise, I have a pretty slack timetable (in comparision to 8am-11pm).
I'm suppose to be doing work, school stuff. You know, the kind that is important for my future career. I have no excuses not to. I really don't! Hmmm, I don't want to. very silly, I know. I've got OSCEs next week and so I really should. maybe I should go in search of a motivation tool. Until then... facebook is such a time waster but so tempting.

News
I've got so many great and wonderful things to share. Shame that when this happens, often I'm too busy to blog. silly that
Firstly, on Monday - I finally went to willowbank wildlife reserve and saw kiwis! It's funny how many NZers have never seen a kiwi. We all know what they are and know what they look like. Afterall, the Kiwi is our national bird. But since they're nocturnal creatures, we actually often have to intentionally go looking to find them to actually see a real live one!
Now, here's a story unrelated to birds. There's a point so be patient... After snowboarding last weekend, my shoulders were killing me so I eventually got a massage mid-week. It's what happens when you're crap at snowboarding. Anyway, on my way from getting the massage, I walked into this expensive french reastaurant because they were looking for experienced staff. I thought it's be fun to work in a high class place. Well, I spoke to the owner briefly. She thought that I'd be good for the upstairs which is very ponsy :) had my trial on Monday night. I've got a job so now I'm working at Le bon bolii parttime. They were very impressed that I could carry 3 plates and do silver servicing without being trained. You'd hope that I could do these things after all the waitressing I've done.
Since they're going to keep me upstairs, it means that I need to focus on quality over quantity. Serving wine properly etc.... no need to rush around or any such thing which is great! Oh, there's also the bonus of getting french food too. Mmmmm
I've been sewing this week. I've made a pleated skirt and have nearly finished another skirt too. I'm quite happy with this second skirt because I didn't buy a pattern for it aaand I taught myself how to put a zip on. woo hoo! just need to do the hem then I'm done!
I'm sure that there's more going on in the life of Thida that's worthy of blogging but sleep is vital for survival and sanity. -Bedtime
