Another LONG LONG day of work. SIGH.

Finally heading to bed now after a 7:45am start to my day.

Long Time No See

Hi everyone,

It's been quite a while since I lost made a post. Life has been HECTIC! After two weeks of work and one week of my Profs course, I'm already feeling swamped.... Need to buck up! Pretty much my last two weeks have been wake up, go to work, come home, eat, work, sleep and then replay.

Can't wait until Easter break! Although, according to my schedule, I still need to study over that weekend. SIGH.

My hubby and I are still trying to hunt down furniture for our wee home. Right now, we're targeting dining tables - WE REALLY NEED ONE - cos let me tell you this, sitting on the ground working from you computer which you sorta have to bend over slightly to use/read may seem fun at first but after a few weeks, you feel like you're ready for retirement.

We've been looking around for a while now but still haven't found "the one". Hopefully we'll have more luck soon.

Recently, I heard about a Zen garden in Auckland, I'm guessing its the one in Whitford. From the few pictures that I saw from my friend and her description, the place seems AMAZING! Can't wait to go and check it out with my hubby - a romantic stroll around a beautiful, serene, and massive garden. Perhaps it can be a weekend expedition?

Time to hit the hay now. Will try to post again soon :)

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

AT LAST!!

Our new bed has finally arrived today! I'm so excited! Looking forward to going to bed tonight!

For the past two and a half weeks, my hubby and I have been sleeping on the floor of our new apartment on top of two duvets. Although I'd say that it wasn't that bad, I still very glad that our new bed is here. Hopefully this will help with my insomnia!

It's Official

To be honest, I actually previously wrote about half of my intended post on my iPhone about a day ago but didn't manage to finish it. I saved it but for some reason, it has disappeared :(

As my hubby just said: This should teach me to not leave things halfway.

I can now say that I have officially landed my first law job and will be starting work next week on the 12th March. However, the position is only an internship at this stage and it is very much on the law firm's conditions. Oh well - will just have to work hard.

I would like to thank my hubby for being supportive and going on a shopping spree with me the weekend after hearing that I got the job so that I could get some work clothes :D Thanks honey!

To be honest, I'm quite excited about this job but at the same time, I'm also quite nervous and worried - mostly about how I'll perform on the job and what happens when the internship finishes. I suppose I just have to have hope and faith that things will turn out well and try my best to improve my employers.

Time to GANBATTE!!

New Job?

Today is a good, exciting, and somewhat scary day for me.

I have been applying for legal jobs for the past couple of weeks after being disheartened by receiving no reply from a firm that have given me an interview for my first potential job. Sadly, it has so far been unfruitful.

HOWEVER. This morning, after checking my emails, I received an email from the firm that had given me the interview. I could not believe it. Since it was quite early in the morning, I thought it was my tired mind playing tricks on me. I rubbed my eyes, calmed down, then read the email again, checking the email account, the sending details and the date. It's true - the firm really did email me back (after over a month since the interview - I thought they had forgotten about my application).

The email, sent last night, was to offer me an internship position at their law firm. My very first position at a law firm.

Feeling the excitement welling up inside me, I forwarded the email to my hubby to share the good news.

I have just sent a reply back to the firm and now I just have to wait for (hopefully) good news. FINGERS CROSSED!!

The next step will be to nail this internship so that I can land a (more) permanent position at the firm.

Look out world! Here I come!!

PS: lesson of the day: Always keep your hopes up, you never know when they'll be answered :)
