I am from Save the Children and we are in the neighbourhood just promoting our new campaign....

hahaha..weird title? That just happens to be part of the "pitch" that I deliver as I go DOOR TO DOOR trying to get people to sign up for SAVE THE CHILDREN. This job is not what I thought it was going to be. It's worse. They work Monday-Saturday from 11-9... I do not have to work all those days but it is encouraged. They are also part of a bigger company called Cobra and surprise surprise the man at the top is a billionaire. So they are trying to train me fast so I can get people under me and hopefully become a leader. I have worked 22 hours and I have made one sale so I have made 60 bucks so far. If I can get people to get on board a 39 dollars a month package then I get 90 dollars and if I get them on board the 20 dollars a month package then I get 50 dollars (we had a 10 dollar bonus the day I made a sale). The only problem is...nobody wants to commit for more than one month or they do not want to hand out their credit card or bank details. So no sales. It is very tiring and we don't really get any breaks. I spent today going around Broadway Shopping Center applying for more jobs. Hopefully I will be more lucky this time. I will also be calling the Institute and Department and see what is going on for me and teaching. Hopefully lots! haha. I would rather have a safe income then a sporatic income. I need to safe money so I can get out of here and travel and then come back home!!!!!

Other than work, I have just been spending a lot of time at home hanging out with my flatmates. We are all usually around at home and have a blast together. Kanako made us a Japanese dessert the other day that she says is very easy to make! I am excited to share all the foods that I have been learning here. Juliana is also a little Martha Stewart in the kitchen. She went from never cooking or baking at home to making cakes and pastries almost everyday! I also enjoy having Jon around...no one dares to pick on us...haha. Monica went to Tamania last minute last week and this friday she will be leaving us to do the East Coast, New Zealand and Fiji. She cannot wait any more for me to get some money and go traveling. I am jealous of her.

Anyways, there is a little mini update for you.
