Rugby and Hell Pizza

I got to see my first Rugby game last Saturday night! The Wellington Hurricanes played the Sharks, a team from South Africa. It wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be but I didn't really know what was going on either so maybe next time I will try to learn the rules instead of just cheering when everyone else does. The game was only 80 minutes long but it was really interesting to see a completely different sport than I'm used to! American football doesn't really have anything on Rugby :) One guy's eye was bleeding but he kept playing! It was pretty awesome.

After the game a group of us went to Hell Pizza which is the first real pizza I've had since I've been here...usually they put bbq sauce on everything and it's just not my style. But Hell pizza is kind of like Mesa pizza in Dinkytown where anything you want on your pizza you can get :) It was delicious and we ate 3 pizzas, between 7 people so it's not as bad as you think.

Other than that, this weekend was pretty non eventful, I'm working really hard to get a bunch of my school work done before break because I'll be gone for 13 days on a great road trip to the south island :) I'm sure I'll have a huge blog about that when I get back but so far, we are going to be living out of our rented car and a 4 person tent that we bought off of new zealands version of craigslist and we are going to have a LOT of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

I do have to register for my University of Minnesota classes while I'm on break so I'll be on the internet at least once but other than that i don't think I'll be on much but when i get back I'll try and call a lot of people because I'll have a phone to hook up to my magic jack, right now it doesn't work very well with me just talking through the computer.

I hope everything at home is going well and I hear the weather is getting nice! I'll talk to you all soon!
