Good news, I have found a job. I figure you can't be picky when its going to be minimum wage anyways, so.. drumroll... Subway here I come! it may only be 20-30 hours per week, so we'll see how it turns out. Since I am basically available all the time, that means if anyone needs a shift covered, it looks good for me. I start Saturday, just a short 2 hour training session on prep, and then I think I am covering a shift on Sunday as well (for the boss' son, haha)!

I have basically just explored around the past few days, wandering the streets and mainly window shopping (I had to buy black pants and shoes for work however), checking out the National Museum and harbour areas. I also had a cafe interview yesterday which I applied for online, so it turned out to be pretty far away and I had to take a bus. Not to mention it didn't go well, Starbucks spoiled me at home with the automatic espresso machines, so when they threw at me "Make a latte" I kind of wasn't too confident 06 Lions..

 ! Oh well, I got a free coffee anyways. And since I bought an all day bus ticket since it worked out cheaper for the round trip anyways, I decided to take full advantage of it and go to the Wellington Zoo. And luck was on my side, they had a special running in August $2 Wednesdays. Well, it was a wednesday! Sweet As. Once again definetely spoiled by the Toronto Zoo as it was pretty small, but it had the classics, lions, tigers, zebras and giraffes oh my. As well i got to see another kiwi up close, and kangaroos and wallabies!

I also looked into short-term gym memberships, good news is the the Les Mills gym nearby (Les Mills are what all the classes at Goodlife are so its a pretty sweet gym) and they are starting a special today 21 days for $21. bad news is after that, a "casual" 10-visit pass is, get this, $200!! How ridiculous is that. So as soon as this damn cold clears up I've got to start jogging. Which I've been saying for like a week now but its hard to runw hen you can't breathe properly!!

Chances are when I start working, I won't need to update as often on this blog anyways since i will be leading a boring life. I am keeping my options open though, I dropped off about 10 CVs so if any places can offer me more hours, I probably won't say no.

XOXO
