Sorry to all that have been reading this blog...I've gotten a bit slack at crossposting my e-mails! I'm going to post Week 4's e-mail below and then Week 5 in a separate post.
Hello all!
It's been another eventful week here in Christchurch.Last Friday night was amazing! I went to the opening event for Heritage Week to represent Plains FM. Along with an open bar and really good "nibbles" (what the kiwis call appetizers), the event was excellent and I learned a lot about Christchurch's heritage. A free bus ride to the small harbor town of Lyttelton was also provided on a vintage bus. It was really neat to be in a room with so many powerful people! I sat two rows back from the Mayor of Christchurch on the way back.
Saturday and Sunday were my relaxing/exploring days. I went to the spa on Saturday and pampered myself. Went to New Brighton Beach and the batteries in my camera died! I got a few pictures before they died, but I'm going to visit another beach so there will be more pictures of the ocean. The very cold ocean!
I've started my last week at Plains and I move to TVNZ on Monday for a week. Then I'll be at TV3 for a week before starting a course at CPIT for my final two weeks. I'm so happy to have this opportunity because I am learning so much! It seems my last days at Plains are filled with much more than the beginning! I've been loading programs into Linker, working on lots of things for the Kids Radio segment that Plains does every year for Kids Fest, and today I got to produce an ad! I did everything from the recording of the talent, editing down music, mixing, etc. I'll be super excited to have it done and have something to put on a sample CD! Tomorrow, my last day, will be really busy as I am putting some sound effects and music together for Kids Radio, decorating the studio for Kids Radio, loading programs, and wrapping up everything that I've done!
Last night was a lot of fun. The staff went out to see The Woman In Black, a play from London's West End. Before going to the play, we went to The Flying Burrito Brothers to have dinner. I had the chicken fajita and a margarita! (And I'm sure by this point in the e-mail it REALLY looks like all I've done is party this week!) The food was really good, and the play was definitely interesting. It was a thriller and really depended on your imagination to bring things to life.
As for this weekend, I don't really know what my plans are. I'm going to do a bit of shopping more than likely and set up some tours for me to take within the next few weeks. It's been hard getting ahold of my CPIT friends because they have exams this week. So I may go out with them later on to celebrate their start of their winter holidays! Hope everyone is warm! I woke up the other morning with snow on the hills in the distance!
