BIG RISKS=BIG REWARDS!!!!!!!!!!! EMPLOYMENT=SUCCESS!!!!

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!

After a 3 day, 11 hour a day bus mission, 1500 km, the flu attacking my stomach and being curled up in fetal position for the entire duration of the trip, I arrived in Paihia to have my trial, which turned into a 3 cruise, 75 hour straight complete submersion into this job, which I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED TO SAY THAT I HAVE!!!!!!!! How is this my life???

Apparently, there were 90 applicants for this one position, and only 6 people got invited for trials. And somehow, I managed to knick the spot, and I am now officially part of "the Rock Crew", which i found out last night at the pub, means I am basically a celebrity in the town of Paihia. No joke!!!

As soon as I walked onto the boat, I knew I made the right choice. The rest of the crew (Adam the Kiwi, ben, Donna, and Luke the English folk, and Tommy the Aussie), are all legends- they welcomed me on with open arms and I felt instantly like I had known them for years. I cannot even describe the chemistry that everyone has with each other on the boat- it's like everyone was feeding off of each other's positive energy. I've never been around a more witty, sharp, positive, happy, fun-loving group of people in my life.

So basically, it is a dream job. We go fishing for Snapper and kowai every night at sunset. We go for night kayaks and go star gazing. We have an open fire on board, a guitar, and piano. We eat amazing food. We play with guests. We snorkel with stingrays and dolphins. we wake up to rainbows stretching across the entire bay. We go Kina diving and Mussel diving. We hike up hills. We play beach soccer and rugby and volleyball. We eat fresh shell fish. AND I NOW GET PAID TO DO THIS!!!!!!!

Words cannot express how happy I am for this opportunity. Big things are going to happen from this, I know it. I cannot wait to see where this leads me. But check out our promotional video!!!!! www.rocktheboat.co.nz

WOO!!!
