where has time gone?!

I can't believe how fast this week, actually all of the weeks are going! It's almost April already and that means my halfway point is fast approaching! When I get back from my trip to the South Island I will be over half done with my trip!

It's so hard to believe that I only get to spend five months in this incredible place. I definitely could do this for a year or even years and never see everything! This trip does make me want to travel more and see more of the world and even of the United States! I will definitely come back here one day and do all of the small islands surrounding it and Australia of course but that would be a month trip all on its own.

We have officially booked our tickets to the South Island so I will be gone from April 3rd through the 16th so 13 days of travelling...I am so excited! We are taking the ferry down and then flying back super early in the morning on the 16th but it will be so much fun. There is a group of 5 of us and we will be sleeping in the car and in tents the whole time...should be an interesting experience!

Other than my excitement for my trip there isn't much to report! I'm keeping it low key for the next week so I can have a little more to spend on my trip. Tonight one of our flatmates has a singing gig at one of the local bars so that will be fun!

The weather here has been so crazy every day. Yesterday it was pouring rain and the day before it was beautiful and sunny. But the day before that the wind was so bad that they had to close entrances to our school because the doors kept opening up. I have never seen wind like that before!!

Until next time, I hope everyone at home is enjoying the beautiful weather! I hear it's getting nicer everyday!
