2010
So these were my goals for this year:
1. Move to a new place.
2. Get some more hobbies.
3. Take an international holiday.
4. Throw a big party for my 30th birthday.
5. Buy new stuff.
It has been 8 months since my last post. Crazy! So a quick update. I am still in Dunedin and still working at the Ministry of Health.
I technically didn't make any new year resolutions this year but I had set the above goals before new years. It may be the first time I have kept a new year's resolution.
1. Move to a new place - This year will mark my 11th year in Dunedin, my seventh flat(if you count my year in Keeling House at Studholme Hall) and 30th flatmate. I have loved my flatting experiences but have for a while felt that it was a change from "student flatting". In March, I moved to a new place in Anderson's Bay. It is great, it is clean, tidy and all the furniture matches. I share with Zelle, who owns the flat. It is a proper grown up flat. If you are in the area, come round for a cuppa, I have chocolate biscuits.
2. Get some more hobbies - My biggest thing is my goal to walk every street in Dunedin. Before you quote the classic Dunedin dad joke ("I've already walked Every Street in Dunedin"), let me clarify - I am walking every single street in Dunedin according to Wises Map. I read an article in The Star last year about a man who was onto his tenth time round the city's streets, to clarify even further, this includes Dunedin city out to Port Chalmers on one side of the harbour and Portobello on the other, Mosgiel, Waldronville, Outram and Warrington. I am approximately a third of my way through my goal. I began on 1 January and aim to complete by 31 December, with the hope of also doing streets in Ranfurly, Waikouaiti and other outlying towns.
My other hobby this year is football. Last year I was super supporter, this year I have donned a strip and you will find me on Sunday afternoons in Cavy women's midfield. This weekend will be the forth game of the season (Look out Dunedin Tech!). Loving it!
3. Take an international holiday - On Saturday, I turn the big 3-0 and next Saturday, I take off for two weeks in Australia, my first time out of the country. I am so excited! I will spend a week in Brisbane with ex flatties, Jo and Brodie and baby bump then down to Melbourne for a week with Annette and Gerg.
4. Throw a big party for my 30th - Yuss! Tomorrow night, drinks, nibbles and live jazz with 80 of my closest friends, family and workmates. One more sleep! One more sleep!
5. Buy new stuff - Ummm, kinda on hold, refer to numbers 3. and 4. :-P
So that's it.
PS. Hi Jemma! How do you make nachos?
