Christchurch - Ashburton - Timaru - Oamaru - Dunedin
Current location: backpackers in Oamaru.
Tomorrow: Will be going to see the fossils! And leaving for Dunedin in the afternoon.
Status: both siblings are nearly broke, and some people have been ripping us off, but hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Please let tomorrow be a better day.
Christchurch was awesome and will always be. Thanks Ray and Gloria! (Glo: I will remember the cooking tips given by your mom! =D) My brother and I have been travelling since Wednesday, and so far, each place has its good and bad points. We agree that the sceneries are the best! Timaru has the best museum and the best botanical gardens, Ashburton has the best motel and hospitality, and Oamaru has the most amazing things to see! Yet to comment on Dunedin but I'm sure it'll be amazing when we get there. We got to see some of the most amazing stuff, and all God-created without much blemish from men. We saw Edoras, which was Rohan from LOTR, and tomorrow we're gonna see where Chronicles of Narnia was filmed (the fossils). We saw penguins, small, quaint little towns and some pretty amazing views (the scenic drives). We had some people ripping us off as well in terms of $$ but oh well, God has given me peace in the midst of all of these things. He has always provided for us, and I'm sure He will not fail us this time! Worse things could have happened but they didn't. We are safe, we are not starving, and we are hoping that tomorrow will be a better day!
Oh yeah..
After much stress, hard work, a tough act of balancing studies, tests (2 300-level papers, back-to-back), work (140 assignments that had to be marked), psychometric testings (had to do 4 in total), interviews (4 in total), lots of prayer (especially on mom's side), freaking 200 dollars for a full suit (blazer, shirt, skirt, and shoes, and the set was the cheapest I could find! Half price from Portmans. Imagine if it wasn't on sale. Gosh), and lots of anxiety and learning how to trust Him, and also preparing for rejection...(and all of them in the space of one week plus)
I received a call when I was in the art museum in Ashburton.
PricewaterhouseCoopers.
I applied for a summer intern position.
Line of service: Audit (which is an interesting choice on my part. I've always thought that I will avoid this line, but hmm...)
They made an offer! Yes!
=D.
