Today I got my classes all sorted out. It sounds like I might have quite a few Fridays off so I'll have time to go adventuring.
My flatmate (I'm going to refer to him as flatmate 1, since he was the first one I met) is still bitching a lot about our living situation. I mean I totally see where he's coming from about how absent our kiwi host is, but we really aren't terribly far from everything. The dude has also brought up how much he's paid to come here and how things should be better because of his hefty bill. The thing is, his situation isn't out of the ordinary. My school is making money off of me. I pay them tuition and room to come here (which sits at around 38 grand) and tuition here is only around 8 grand, so they get to just pocket the rest. I kinda want to tell flatmate 1 to just shut the fuck up and be happy he's in New Zealand. I'm worried he's starting to effect the attitude flatmate 2 has about this place. I understand he's unhappy, but I don't think his unhappiness should spread. Maybe that's just because I don't feel it's totally justified unhappiness. Life could be a whole lot worse.
Tonight there's an international student party (as if there weren't any of those yet this week hehehe) at a bar downtown. The place has been rented out for us or something. It sounds awesome and I'm sure it's going to be fun.
My friend from WU and I have been doing a lot of our errands together these past two days and in line for our courses yesterday we met these two girls from the midwest of America or something. The line was pretty long so we talked with them for quite some time. The funny thing is, since then we've been seeing them everywhere. Saw them as we were leaving the library, saw them after we got our ID cards, saw them as we walked to the store, and we'll probably see them tonight at this bar. I think we might have to get their names and numbers.
