3 Months in New Zealand

Today marks the day that I've been in New Zealand for exactly three months! I'd say time flies but it actually does seem like it's been awhile since I arrived. Wellington feels like home now.

Yesterday after my beloved creative writing class, and after our (now usual) trip to Verve cafe, Alexis, Sara and I headed over to Cuba street to see "Late Night Laughs," part of the NZ Comedy Festival that's going on. We got there super early and the man at the door told us to come back in a half hour. We went and got beers at Hotel Bristol and when we came back, he told is it was sold out. Ugh!! I was really bummed. Luckily there are tons of comedy shows going on for the festival so we're just going to go to another one next weekend... and get our tickets in advance.

So since the comedy show was a bust, we decided to go to a cool but expensive bar that was recommended to Sara by someone she met on her travels over break. It was a really nice place and the drinks were delicious. After that we ended up at Boogie Wonderland to dance to some 70s music on light-up tiles, and then to Establishment to dance to some more recent music, without light-up tiles. It was a really good night!

The wind sounded like a freight train last night. At some points it was shaking the walls, which is odd in this sturdy apartment building I'm in. I'm usually not a light sleeper but it kept waking me up, and keeping me up. I tried to get work done at the library today but I was just so tired and not feeling that well and just went home and accomplished nothing. Not a very productive day at all. Hopefully I've gained enough energy by being lazy all day that I can work on school work all night. Wooo crazy Saturday!!!
