nothing new...

Well there isn't much to update on. The past few days I've just been hanging out, watching movies and walking around town. I did go to the beach yesterday which was beautiful but I got a little burnt :( Apparently, there isn't really an ozone layer down here so the sun burns you twice as fast as it would at home and because it's so windy you can't feel yourself getting burnt. But it's not horrible and I know it will turn into a nice tan.

The housing issue is getting a little frustrating. I wish AustraLearn would have been better prepared for us to come. It seems like we are the only group that got shafted and because so many things have gone wrong, the front desk staff doesn't like us very much. Oh well, all I can say is that I would never go through this company again.

I never thought I'd say this but I am actually excited for school to start. I need something to keep me busy and my trip that I wanted to go on for next week fell through so it looks like I'll be exploring Wellington this week. That's alright, there are lots of free things to do and little day trips I can go on.

The city is a beautiful place and we got our Kiwi roommates but they are all temporary and it's hard to make friends when they are all going to be moving to the other side of the city in a few weeks. But, I am staying optimistic and hopefully this week will be fun. We still don't have internet at my house but we are being promised it sometime this week. Who knows when it will really come but until then, the internet cafe will just have to do.

I definitely miss having a vehicle. I am getting tons of exercise but from the grocery store back to my place it would be really nice to have a car to just put it in quick. I must say though that driving on the other side of the road would be really difficult. I'm kind of scared to do it and probable won't because I want to avoid a crash.

As soon as I get internet I will upload videos and pictures on here so everyone can see where it is I'm living :)
