Life In Wellington

Tue May 5, 2009, 8:35 PM
So I moved to Wellington early January to begin studying Digital Media Design at Uni. After the first month or so, feeling homesick and depressed about how suddenly everything has changed... I've had time to settle in, move in with my girlfriend and get my 'sea legs'.

Things are really good now. Part time job is still sucky (kitchen hand), but it pays the bills and I'm learning a lot of important fundamentals on my course. I've been through and finished with the partying scene for a year or so now, so don't really have the proper student life going. But I'm enjoying the atmosphere I'm in.

My course has helped with networking, and I'm getting some great tips from both tutors and students alike, and after the 4 years of study I'm aiming to get a job at Weta (based in Wellington too), so fingers crossed and knuckles down right?

Anyway, going to go now. Things are working out great here, and I can't wait to get into the digital amimation aspect of the course. :)

Ciao.

good luck with Weta. Although you might find there's many great similar companies to work for in the world!

ahh, i've been wondering where you were :3 being a kitchen hand doesn't sound too bad~ of course this is coming from a complete glutton that would kill to be able to work with food all day~ good luck getting the Weta job though!

Hahaha. Well, the thing about that is that you're often tempted by food that you're not allowed to eat until it's offered to you. :P So it can be quite maddening. D:
