Wall-E

Hi everyone,

Another quick week! My job has been going well, and I go to 20 hours per week starting Monday. It is only an extra half hour per day, but there is definitely enough to do that the time will come in handy. I've got a new, full-size desk and new office supplies, and I've enjoyed getting to know everyone. Michelle said that I'll be able to take some free writing courses, which will look great on my CV (and I've heard they are good fun!). One of our trainers is a writer for Flight of the Conchords, so hopefully I can take one of his classes.

Rory's office is treating everyone to Wall-E tonight. It is Pixar's latest film, and it is just coming out here, months after it did in the US. I'll catch a bus back into town soon, meet Rory for some Lebanese food, and then head to the cinema. I'm looking forward to it!

Life is pretty good. Wellington has really grown on me, especially the size of the city. I'm always finding new shops and restaurants, but you can walk across town in just about 20 minutes. It is also funny how you run into people you know wherever you go. Rory and I have perfected our morning routine and catch the 'Express' bus every morning, and we always see our coworkers out and about in town before we get to our stop. The bus system is really impressive here.

I can't believe that tomorrow is Friday already. We don't have any plans at the point, but as long as it is sunny, there is plenty left to explore.

Love, Amy
