A lot changed for me in 2012. I changed my name from the actually-not-so-difficult-but-everyone-seemed-to-have-a-problem-with-it Ailsa to my middle name, Tansy.
Half way through the year was the time that I decided that I wanted to change from studying a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Mass Communications, studying a Web Media stream with a Public Relations stream. I instead took the step in changing my degree to a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Public Relations. I was very hesitant at first, since I am terrible at Economics and Accounting, as high school classes displayed. I knew it would be a lot harder, going from doing two exams in my year and a half in an arts degree, to doing four a semester, and anyone who knows me knows that I don't do well in exam situations.
I am glad I did it though. I did end up failing Economics 100, and Business Information Systems 100, which came as a shock to me. I passed Accounting thankfully. I will repeat my units and I am more determined then ever to do well to prove that I am capable.
I have two jobs. I work at Kitchen Warehouse as a causal retail assistant, where I sell cookware, electrical, knives and gadgets, and have been doing so for the past three years. I can tell you the difference between Le Creuset and Chassuer, and why non-stick is better than stainless steel, so long as you don't use a high heat.
My second job is as a Sales and Marketing Assistant at Hospitality Pty Ltd, a company that owns and manages eight hotels and motels around Western Australia, including a retreat in Karijini National Park and a five star hotel in Perth City.
Throw in some bar tending work and studying full time, and you have me. A well travelled 21 year old who is itching to see every part of the world. In a nutshell.
