All in the City

I’ve decided not to go to the filming of Top of the Pops tomorrow night after I discovered something tonight. While checking the TV2 website looking for who will perform at the filming of the show tomorrow night, I realised that you can just print the tickets off the internet and turn up! It made the whole experience of ‘winning the tickets’ worthless, and now knowing that there could be thousands of people turning up for free and at will, I really can’t be bothered catching a bus there and back and wasting my Friday night.

 

Today however I spent most of the day in the city with my mum, Hamish and Aonghas trying to sort out Hamish’s courses and timetable for his first year at university. He’s enrolled in the BCom course and had to sort out his timetable so that he knew when to attend his semesters. At the Auckland University Business Advisory Centre, Hamish was given a ticket ‘918’ (meaning he was 918^th in line to talk to an advisor). Fortunately we turned up on Course Advice Day at Auckland University and that’s why everyone else was there as well! Hamish finally got everything sorted out and so from the beginning of March he’ll have to travel to the city every weekday to attend semesters. He only gets the weekends off.

 

While we were walking to the Britomart Bus Terminal, we heard heaps of loud sirens in the distance. It sounded like a pretty big deal, but we didn’t realise what all the fuss was about until we watched the news report about a body being found outside the Metropolis in the city.
