Procrastination at its BEST!

Wow! It has been a whole month since I last updated my blog. I never realized exactly how much can happen in a month but honestly I am one of the happiest people right now!

I am actually procrastinating finishing my last two assignments (can you believe its mid-semester already!)... but I have big news...


:D


My big news is..... I am officially employed at Mediaworks Waikato!!!! :) I signed my contract a couple of weeks ago and am now a part-time promotions team member! The feeling of accomplishment is more than I can describe right now!

Todd and Tyler... You guys are AMAZING!

I wouldn't be in this moment if it weren't for my boss/pal Todd and my pal Tyler! They saw how much I wanted this and was trying to prove myself and I'm guessing that is what got me here. If they read this... you guys are a.m.a.z.i.n.g! :D x

Haha I think I am one of only a few people that say that they LOVE their job. I've only worked properly a few times, but I love every moment of it all.  Radio is my passion. I love doing promotions and that is all that really matters to me.

The new Tiger Woods.

Notice the amount of pants left on the costume haha.

My first More FM promo... I helped out at the Junior Tiger Golf Tournament and ended up in a tiger suit... (I looked more like a tiger cub than an actual tiger ha ha) It was so much fun! (Even though I couldn't see a thing out of the head piece and it was 100 degrees in that suit too).

I then went on a "blind" date for the Nexus magazine! And I wrote an article about it for them... which ended up in the mag! Ha ha I'm not the greatest writer, I prefer to talk alot. but was cool either way :).

Nexus mag article :)

Two weeks ago, I ended up going to St Johns College in Hamilton and helping out with Shave for a Cure. Its such an amazing charity and it was fun watching all the guys get their heads shaved! (I even considered shaving a piece of my hair, DIDN'T happen though... Thank god! haha)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIY_nYqgC4M

The crowd at St Johns College! :)

I did my first bbq promo with The Edge as well  I got told I should be prepared to do quite a few of these! Keeeeeen! Haha I want to be a pro at the BBQ so I can cook one for my Dad one day. :D

Last weekend I did another bbq promo with The Rock... I actually manned the BBQ this time and drove The Rock FM ute for the first time... no one died! Meaning no one choked on a sausage, no one got food poisoning, no one got crashed into by my driving and no one killed me in the event that I did crash the car... okay maybe I wouldn't actually get killed but I think my dignity would die a bit if I crashed a work car the first time driving it haha.

BBQ and my perfect work vehicle parking haha

So much has happened and so much continues to happen and I am thankful everyday for this opportunity.

I'm still studying too! Just about to hit the holidays and I'm pretty excited! Second year is actually a lot harder than I realized. Its still easy for me but the work takes me extra time to figure out these days. I'm one of those people who need things to actually be explained to me or else I will be completely lost, which seems to be happening a bit lately. But oh well haha. Three and a half semesters till I can say I am qualified.... I'm counting down. But for now... bring on the holidays! (And my Dads cooking).

Okay I really am procrastinating now... If you know anything about Australasian society and lifestyle regarding consumer behaviour... then by all means, help me out! Haha.

Hopefully I wont leave blogging as long again. But its so hard finding the time these days. Not that I'm complaining haha. I actually love it! And Im sure no one really cares about reading these types of blogs but its pretty cool being able to write stuff like this and share it with people. Its also cool not having to write something in essay format with APA referencing and a cover page haha.

Me and my former Wintec radio co-host Liana!  If you need a make up artist or hair stylist... shes ya girl! :)

Until next time...

Katie the Radio Girl! x
