I'm not a grown up yet...

Volunteering for Soundwave so far has been a very fun experience.

The people I am working with are very nice and being able to work alongside a friend always makes things way more pleasant. I spent the week doing admin duties.

The only thing that is getting me down is my age. I know I am still young but there are people who are at my level starting out in the industry much younger than me. Many have more experience than me.

I tend to forget my age, mainly because it doesn't matter to me. I have friends of all ages, my boyfriend is 20, my sister whom is also my flatmate is 30.

I just have to remind myself why I am here and that if I show how passionate I am, people aren't going to judge me for my age but for what I can do.

The exciting part of the week is that I have my tickets booked to and from Sydney so I will definitely be able to make it to work there for Soundwave!

When it comes to going to America next year, I have a small cheque that will be arriving to me by mail. When that comes, it will be the opening for my savings account that I plan to only deposit money into until next year. I think I will be able to sort out my credit history once Soundwave is over. Currently Soundwave is taking the chunk of my earnings that doesn't go on cigarettes or living essentials but it's worthwhile in my eyes.

I've added buttons to the top of the page so the comments and posts on my blog are easier to follow, please feel free to comment any suggestions you have or if you enjoy my blog share it with your friends.

I have a long way to go on this journey and am finding it very easy to be distracted by the allure of instant gratification that comes with shopping for things I like rather than saving for this dream I want. Any comments of encouragement will also be received with much gratitude.

Wishing you well this week.

Thanks for reading!
