Seriously, im hopless at this. i havent got a craving to blog for a very long time. it's always been facebook whenever im online- and i spend a good 1-1.5 hours on it playing games like mafia wars (im pathetic, i know and elvin hates it when my attention drifts from him to the games).
semester two starts on the 27th july. last semester's results were pretty good though charmaine has yet again stolen the spotlight with 4 grade 9's in her units, that's at least 90% on each of her 4 units. im pretty impressed with my grade 8's and 7's (at least i've maintained my score:D).
1. Introductory Econometrics 211- 7
2. Macroeconomics 100 - 8
3. Law Contract 101 - 7
4. Introductory Finance 201 - 8
my term holidays have been a complete bore. it's been months since i last put on my dancing shoes. shopping's definate with the winter sales on and boy have i been spending. in fact, i've been spending more than i've earnt. i cant help it especially when there hasnt been much hours for me. i've tried finding a second job to bring in the extra income for shopping. trust me, the newspapers, online job search websites or even walking through shopping malls scouting for available openings, i've done all that.
for a short period of time, i've tried a direct sales marketing job with optus doing door-to-door sales. the pay's definately lucrative- considering it's commisson based pay but mum didnt like the idea that i would be knocking on peoples' doors alone esp during the sunset hours. i decided to put the job on hold till i get my driving liscence, (i cant rmb if i mentioned this before, i passed my driving assessment, all i have to do now is wait 6 months before i take an online assessment before im given my liscence) plus i reckon direct sales marketing's a tough one esp for a 19 year old to handle.
i've got a second job with nandos chicken now although i reckon i'll be facing the same problem again, the lack of work hours allocated. i guess with the recession, no one can afford to hire you for that many hours if not someone else cant work those hours. besides, i've been lucky to even be hired during these tough times, i guess i cant argue much.
