Pictures So the last couple of weeks have been so so so busy!!! It's been great though. I still love my job and feel like ive settled in now and it's good. I've made a few changes to my room and made it more 'me' as much as I could anyways. Michelle who is the other receptionist and I get on really well, she's a super cool girl. She was traveling through Canada before coming to New Zealand which is cool and she went through Calgary and Banff so it's cool that she's seen where i'm from and i've been to England where she is from.
I work Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays and then the rest of the week off. Usually on Wed and Saturday I do nothing as I can't be bothered and I'm so tired form the last few days or i'm preparing for the next few days. It's ok though, I'm saving money by not doing anything haha.
A few of the girls who were cleaners have left now and a few ones who were here when I first started have come back so it feels like a family up in the staff house.
We have plans for christmas all together which is nice. Michelle is working Christmas and I'm working New Years but it should be really quiet work wise.
I've had a lot of good laughs the last couple of weeks and I am probably the happiest I have been in a really really really long time. Sorry I don't reply to all of your emails right away. It's only because i'm busy and my access to the internet is limited and expensive. Cheap internet is a walk into town away and if i'm working I don't have time to go into town.
I'm definitely learning a lot about how hostels run and I have to do a cash up every night and make sure all my money balances and checking people in and out and making sure I get key deposits and everything. My boss Tom is an amazing guy. Super friendly, easy to get on with and is so quick to give you praise rather then criticize everything we do. It's really nice!
It's starting to heat up here in New Zealand. I've been wearing capri pants and tank tops everyday. Too hot for my jeans which
I've done a really good patch job on ALL BY MYSELF!!!! Who knew I could still sew after all these years! Mom i'm sure you're very proud haha. But it saved me money having to buy new ones. Yeah me!
Well thats about all for now....Will update you after christmas!
Christmas is only a week away so i will sign off with this:
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!!!! Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and I hope that you all enjoy it. I miss all of you and think of you all often! Don't worry too much about me as I'm having a great time and am never lonely!!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!
