So I'm sitting here in my room, it's almost six o'clock here and it's probably around 40 degrees. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do about dinner. I've contacted a few friends that I've made and I think together we'll be able to figure it out.
So far today I've tried a lamb burger, two different local beers, opened a Bank of New Zealand checking account, got my own phone line and made 3 pretty good new friends - two of them from Texas, thus already changing my worldview (since beforehand I had never yet met a Texan I had liked).
I've met both my flatmates; one is a guy from Pennsylvania and the girl is the kiwi host. They seem really nice, but I haven't had much interaction with them yet. Hopefully we'll get along really well.
I also just took a shower. The water as nice and hot, but now here I am, still a little damp, sitting at my desk, shivering as I type because it's so cold. It's probably my fault for wearing just shorts and a t-shirt.
I'm really excited for this semester now. My only worry is that it looks like it could potentially cost me a lot of money. Money that I don't have. But maybe I'll worry about that later.
