uh oh...the negative blog :/

Well, although the city is amazing and just the fact that I am in New Zealand is incredible, there have been a lot of problems.

First off, the housing situation is ridiculous and out of control. I still don't have my permanent room assignment, i woke up this morning to a broken fridge which means all of my perishable food I bought yesterday, had to be thrown away and today there was no hot water. We still don't have internet in the building because the wires are too old and they may have to replace everything, which means no internet for another 2 weeks.

I have been having a hard time fitting into one of the many cliques that have formed so most of the time, I am by myself walking around the city. I love the city and I really don't mind being by myself, but sometimes it's nice to have a little company.

I don't know, this is just a low point I think. I am trying to arrange a trip to the south island for next week but I'm not sure who will go with me. And a week from Monday I start school here so hopefully that will allow me to meet many more kiwis and other international students.

On the upside, the weather has been beautiful the past few days. It rained for awhile but now the sunshine is out again!!!!
