So March 3rd 2011 treated me pretty well.
After going out and dancing the night away last night for a friend's birthday, I slept pretty late but still managed to have a fun and productive day. Speed-walked it to Oriental Bay for noon where I caught some rays on the beach and stuck my toes in the South Pacific before heading to campus for class at 4:10. If I was a real kiwi that sentence would have sounded more like - "I headed up to Uni for my paper." Classes are called papers, and school/campus/college is just Uni. Always Uni. Uni Uni Uni. Class was fine. Quite the hike up the hill for just a 50 minute class, but I like the exercise. I've already lost some weight :) The forecast for the next few days looks like rain anyway, so maybe I'll take the bus tomorrow. $2 from my building to Uni... it's worth it when it's raining horizontally.
Right now my washing machine sounds like it's about to blast off in the other room. These walls are paper thin and that thing is LOUD. Another little fact about NZ.. they aren't big on dryers here. The ones they have aren't very efficient and it's greener, cheaper, and just more common to hang your clothes to dry. I have a drying rack in my room. My clothes are a little more stiff than usual at first, and doing laundry takes a little more effort, but it's not a big deal. I'm embracing the culture! ;)
Since I don't have any pictures for today I'll just show you the rain boots and rain coat I should probably invest in. Cheers!
The Blog DOES look nice Alex. I like the green color better. I like the boots too, and make sure whatever coat you get has a good comfy hood that you can block out that "horizontal" rain with !
ReplyDeleteYup..... like the new green color ! Love You !
Oh.... I wonder why a class is called a "paper"? Where does that come from?
