The Big Leagues



Well it now has come a time to be a bit more professional, and by meaning a bit more professional it means getting a domain name! Yes I did it, www.thewaywardprofessional.com has been established. It currently has nothing on it as I am still trying to figure out how to connect his blog to the website....

What made me make this decision? well it is the last year of my study (fingers crossed) and going out into the big wide world is quite daunting, especially when you have been a student for coming up about 4 years. You get into a routine of things, how much money you have per week or how many (or few) hours you work per week etc.. I thought this blog was intended to be my chronicle of 2012 and what it has in stored for me; but now I want to also continue with what happens after I graduate. That in itself is worth documenting about!

So $16 got me 2 years of the domain name, now I just have to figure out how to connect everything up!

On a side note it is the third week back at Uni and things are already super busy! Not to mention that quite a few of my friends are now having their birthdays! Come on people, I am a student, I am not made of money!

Peace

The curve balls in Life

Well Murphy's Law is in full swing this week, I finally got around to getting rid of my last boxes in my room, only to find that I have to move again! One of my two head tenants decided to move into an apartment while the other, does not want to be on the lease without the other head tenant, dilema much! well fortunately I did not have to look too far to find new digs, it is a bedsit that also take my kitty cat.. It will be the first time that I have ever had a bedsit (room that is not part of the house) I am looking forward to it, however fingers crossed my kitty a) doesn't run away and b) can cope living near a dog...

There was a stressful moment before I got the bedsit about finding a place to live within 4 weeks, you might think that is plenty amount of time; however I do need to mention that I am going to Australia for 2 weeks this coming Monday (2nd of July) so I really only had 2 weeks to look for a place!! Thank god for friends and spare rooms!


So whereabouts in Australia am I going? Brisbane of course! I fly in to Brisbane and then drive down to Sydeny with my father and uncle. Lets say that this will be an interesting trip as I hardly spend more than a day with my father who some can relate to, can rub you up the wrong day within in no time. There will be wine tasting in Vineyards, hopefully sightseeing to local hotspots and lastly catching up with family!

With my digs sorted bring on Brisbane I say!

Peace

A Florence of a Time


So about a year ago I heard Florence & the Machine, little did I know that I would be going to her concert a year later! It was held at Vector Area, in Auckland and strangely enough it was on a Monday night?! What really drew me about this concert was the fact that there was a large age range, my estimation would be between 15-55, it was really nice to see a mixture of generations. Florence sung the whole hour and a half! She was incredible, some of her pop like songs she sung almost acoustic if was so beautiful. The only let down for me was that I got caught in the rain on the way to the concert and had to stand through the whole things soaking wet! I did however dry off a bit, but was still damp by the time I got home. Overall I would recommend people who are interested in this genre of music to go and see Florence & the Machine, it is worth every penny!

Now back to study, exams are looming and my stress levels are rising!

Time travel's fast!


Inspiration

I love when you find something that completely inspires you and wraps you up it addiction! My sister-law wrote about having visited this site and that was it, I became completely in love with the Radical Self Love Project by Gala Darling. She not only makes you turn the scope back on yourself but she makes you realise that you should chase your own dreams of happiness and not conform to what society thinks and expects of you! We all conform at sometime, sometimes you have to but Gala is right in saying that you should never lose who you are in light of it. I have been reading all her articles (should be studying, but hey no one is perfect) and it just strengthen how I feel about being me, it make me embrace my inner child or as some of my friend might say my inner cray cray... So most likely the more I read the more I will be happy and the more I will be cray cray (excellent can't wait!)

Time

Where the hell is time going? I know the saying as you get older time goes faster, but this is ridiculous! Seriously, I feel like I blink and BAM! 1 week has flown by.... The fact I am in week 10 of UNI is scary and starting to feel a bit overwhelming, but not to worry I am doing a lot better than last year! which I am soooo stoked about, now its just to make sure that I pass the important parts (end of semester exams and/or assignments) So I will leave it at that, I had my best friends 21st on the weekend, I somehow managed to get up and say something coherently and without embarrassing myself so an overall success!



So good luck everyone, have a fab time! 

Your Cray Cray
