Fingers Crossed

Hello Readers!!!

It has been a wee while since my last blog but my reason is legitamit!!! hehe.

All week I have been doing my work experience at House Of Travel Dunedin (it's a travel agency for those who don't know). I started on Monday along with another girl from course called Jess. I spent monday and Tuesday in Orbit Travel which is the corporate travel side of things. Time went fast as I sat with Tash and Lisa (the 2 domestic corporate travel consultants) ands learnt the ropes about how certain things worked. I got to refreshen my mind on how to work 'amadeus'; the computer reservation system and learn a little bit more about the other systems they use. It all was very interesting although I couldn't help but feel some of the men in the back didn't like having a nosey student hanging around.

Wednesday came and I had my last day at course before we went on break for a week. We had a small mid-year gradtiation as we would be broken up from our original classes and mixed up again. It kinda sucks knowing I won't be starting level 4 with my original class mates. We all became so close, almost like a wee family of our own. I will miss all the inside jokes some of us use to share...But there will always be lunch time!!!!

Thursday and Friday were my last two days at H.O.T, this time I was back in the front with Leisure travel... Last time I was there (in May) I did two days there, so I already knew most things from sitting with the consultants. So I spent the 2 days mostly working with Sue, she works in processing which is pretty much putting the bits and peices together for travel agents and doing itineraries etc. I got to do a couple of things myself, it was kind of fun but I could imagine getting bored of it after a while. When I wasn't with Sue, I was doing bits and peices around the place for Ruth, the receptionist. While I was there, I got to meet and talk to John, the boss, a few times. I feel I made a pretty good impression on him, so fingers crossed he liked me!!!

I can't wait to hear from somebody about how things went for me at House Of Travel and if I made a good of impression as I think I have. I met a lady who was a sales rep for singapore airlines, who said it's not very often they request a student back, so they must see some potential in me (her words not mine).

Anyway thought I'd follow up on my last post and keep you all informed.... BUT!!! Stay tuned for my big news (which I'm not allowed to tell you yet!!!!)
