TODAY is a new day.
Whilist yesterday left me feeling very low, I know that it is time to power on. HOW COULD I HAVE SULKED FOR SO LONG???
Well, today I have picked up my game! With a full day of uni ahead of me, I have FINALLY printed out my timetable, am PREPPING for a class (Heaven Forbid! hehehe...) and am going to re-contact potential sponsors in the hope that I can at least get a little bit of feed back on what they thought of the various contact methods we used...

The reason for this sudden turn around, me thinks is a pretty good F-sae meeting with the UOW guys last night. I have jobs to do! I am feeling wanted for the first time in a while, and I am still KINDA on top of uni work... It looks to be a hard, though encouragging semester if I can stay ontop of uni, do all my work for both teams and still be recougnised by my family on the off days that I come home!

Yeha. I'm back at it...

Today I dodged doing uni work to go stuff hunting. Stuff hunting is what you do when you don't really want to do what you're supposed to be doing, but instead do the hunting of the things that need to eventually be done. For the university race team, this was finding an Australian supplier of bearings for the suspension and for Lasts and Lasts motorsport, this was looking for an Australian supplier of Uniden UHF radios. A task unto itself.

I tell ya what! Finding a supplier for bearings that match those which the uni was importing from the states was easier than finding a nice supplier willing to donate radios in return for sponsor services. A few nice ones were hunted down though, and are in the process of checking out our sponsor info... but it took a loooooong time.

We are in DESPERATE need of money! I am living on rice and veggies here!!! (But then again, that is college dorm food!)  But in all seriousness, if we don't find some sponsorship dollars NOW whilst we are still in the series, I doubt we will be able to find ANY next year if we try again...

Its all so depressing... :(  I kinda just want to curl up in a ball and have a little cry... I'm SUCH a pathetic girl! Yet when it comes to anything else outside of this, I am ready to stare down the barrel of a gun for it! WHATS THE DEAL???

BUT! On the brighter side of things... Uni racing is starting to take off again and we are in a flurry of manufacturing AND dancing starts again next week, along with my new sponsored fitness regime!

I just have to keep telling myself... but I know it is true... V8 Supercars... HERE I COME!
Blessings all!
Congrats to state winners on the weekend, Kinsella and all the rest of ya's!
Love Kirsty

WOW! I realllllly know that it has been a long time since I wrote, but there has been alot going on!

As the website bears testamony, ALOT has been going on with the team and the state of my bedroom bears testimony to the amount ofwork I have been doing for uni. After a shocking last semester, not only am I trying to get the team up and running, but a better uni result as well.

So, in order to do that, I have handed over the reigns of the website to a guy from uni who will be building a BRAND NEW ONE and I have also handed over a couple of other jobs to very qualified persons!

Well, in the hope that I will do better in uni, I'll cut off here, finish my applications for grants and sponsorship and will get RIGHT on uni!

CIAO!
Kirst
