Time flys when you're having fun!

Flower Power!

Hey Hey!

I think I need to update my blog more often! Once a month is a bit ridiculous! I literally posted a month ago to the day! Ooops!

After my last blog post many people asked me why exactly I have a blog, what it is about and what I am hoping to get from it. Well... the reason why I have a blog is because during the past year and a half, my public relations tutor Debbie kept saying she loved blogs and that she thought that all the students in our class should have a blog in order to communicate and practice our writing. She said that we should have a blog that involves things we love or are interested in... and Bingo! I created one and here it is. My blog is basically about myself and my journey through Wintec, my ambition in life to become apart of the radio broadcasting industry... whether that involves becoming an announcer or other areas of the industry and my blog includes bits and pieces of my friends and fellow students who are also working their way towards the careers and lives they desire and dream about! I am not hoping to get anything out of my blog... maybe just a few page views, and something that I can look back at and watch my progress towards life! I would love to be able to change someones life through my blog or inspire someone to do radio or study... but I think that is just wishful thinking. (If I do change your life, please tell me! :D)

I am making a goal over the next four weeks to blog every Wednesday. I am going to change it up a bit... But am unsure yet of what to talk about. (Any topics... throw them at me!) I am mainly doing this so that I can practice my writing and communication skills

Anyways...

Partying with Clint from The Edge, my mate Rick and flatmate Dasha

So much has happened, is happening and is about to happen and it's so crazy trying to suss everything out!

Last time I blogged I mentioned that I am now officially employed by MediaWorks Waikato (Eeeep! Still excited). Since then I have worked heaps, learnt heaps, met so many people, made myself look like a dork, made myself look like a legend and so much more!

Working at the Waikato Show with Ashleigh :)

I've done sausage sizzles (slowly becoming a pro), driven a car that is ten times too big for me (or else I am ten times too small for it), I had fun doing the lock box challenge at the Waikato Show, I've attempted to make candy floss (which is super hard! and super bad to eat... I now know why my parents never let me eat it as a child), I've watched several Peppa Pig shows and more! I honestly love my job! I think the best part about it is the fact that I am doing something I love and am super passionate about. It really is true when people say that working is fun and exciting if you're doing something that you love. :)

So much has happened at Wintec too! I wrote a 1500 word essay on radio shows and advertising... and got a pretty choice mark for it, a 1000 word report on gender roles and consumer behaviour, did a joint 15-minute presentation with my pal Nick (check out his fb page Theboysofmay) on Miley Cyrus and her involvement in agenda setting, and am now working on my AMC project, writing radio commercials and doing my never ending workbook...Such work! I wonder why degrees were invented?! It is actually a lot of work, time, money for just a piece of paper. Ha ha. I guess the other million students around the globe could potentially be wondering the same thing.

Kendalls birthday party :) Revenge of the Nerds!

So much has happened personally too... I was in a car crash literally in the middle of nowhere on the way to visit my family down in Wellington and was left stranded, alone, in Taihape (which is a long way from either of my homes) for over 3 hours. ( RIP my black car!... if anyone wants to sell me or even gift me their car, I'll love ya long time! :P

My cousin and best friend Josie... and my car crash scars... ha ha

I am slightly scared of being in cars at the moment and I have some good scars on my forehead and some nasty burn/grazes on my arms from the airbags but otherwise I'm sweet! Airbags hurt people!
I also partied with my workmates in a 1984 themed party (happy birthday again Kendall!), and I'm about to turn 20... ahhhhh! 10 years till I'm 30... eww! haha

Hopefully I'll be back next week (don't hold it against me if I forget :P)

Until next time...

Katie the Radio Girl! x
