Well another boring entry but bear with me because I'm really going to try to keep up with this. So my flights are booked, but I'm waiting to hear back about the room, the person I've been in contact with said they would send the contract but haven't yet. I must admit to being a little worried. Luckily I can change my flights without it costing, but then I'd have to hunt down another place extremely quickly. Speaking of quick, Otago is definitely on the ball with everything, I just got my first (and last) bill for this year. My scholarship does cover the course fees and provides a $20,000 stipend a year for a total of 3 years but there are extra fees for building levies, and welfare and recreation etc, which total $468.67. I'm sure glad I have been saving my pennies!!!
Aside from that I haven't done much since the last entry. Although I have been looking into continuing as a Note-taker for the Disability Service down there and also they have a one-on-one tutoring programme for students needing a little extra help, so with my experience from Massey that's looking like a good option to get a little extra cash and the more experience I get the more I can write on my CV. Note-taking is so fun though, it's like getting paid to learn! And there are so many courses that I wouldn't have taken myself that I've had the pleasure of 'taking' throughout the years at Massey, so continuing with that would be great.
Alright, that's all for now. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, the next entry I write will be from Dunedin in my new studio room. Wish me luck!!!
