patupaiareheHave been meaning to update here for yonks, but I keep getting distracted. Like now, for instance: I opened this tab about two hours ago, then talked to some people on FB, read a couple interesting articles, played Sudoku, talked to Dad on the phone... then went, come on Clare, get your arse into gear.
Nothing especially interesting has been going on in my life, just uni, friends, books, work etc. Oh, work is news, I guess! Finally got a job filing and doing odd jobs for a lawyer, which is great and I'm really enjoying it.
I've started looking for work over the summer, as well. Either in my town, so I live with my parents rent free, or over on the coast at Punakaiki, where our family has a bach. I quite like the idea of Punakaiki, cos I'd be living by myself, doing a bit of something interesting, independence, cheap living etc, but on the downside... it's in the middle of nowhere. The only people there are tourists and DOC workers. There's not a lot in the way of night life, unless you consider the pub where I might be bartending nightlife - and I don't. But it's still doable, and I'd (theoretically) get all fit and tanned from doing lots of outdoorsy stuff on my days off instead of spending all my money on booze and clothes.
Only about a month til the very end of uni, which is scary as shit. Scarier is that there's only TWO WEEKS left of term before study leave, and I'm suddenly like OH GOD SO MUCH WORK WHAT DO I DOOOOOOO. To which the short answer is: sunbathe. It's been beautiful and sunny and I've been soaking up every possible ray of sun.
Also today, which was awesome, I kind of organised a clothing swap between all my friends! Excite! So now I have a ton of new clothes culled from everyone else, which is always fun.
