Wow, cant believe that we are almost two weeks into life in NZ! Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this, but the past few days has been a whirlwind of new friends and class stuff. I am signed up for all the classes I want and can't wait for them to start. Orientation is over, i guess it was really only a 2 hour meeting about useless information. So in reality, no help from the university on setting up all the necessities. I currently have 2 of 3 flat mates right now. Tommy is from Hungary and Anna is from Hawaii, both are really cool and I cant wait to really get to know them.
I feel like i know the north part of Dunedin like the back of my hand now after 2 weeks of walking everywhere. My favorite part of this town so far would have to be the Botanic Gardens. They are beautiful with so many interesting and new plants! Though it is the dead of winter here (its about 50 degrees during the day... real rough winter, i know...) everything is green and beautiful. There are even flowers blooming! The kiwis laugh at us for loving flowers in the winter but hey anywhere that doesn't drop to -10 with 5 ft. of snow is heaven. The gardens also have an aviary where they have many cool and rare birds. 2 of the Cockatoos talk and Sara and I have entertained ourselves with them for 2 days now.
Now we have to conquer getting text books and stuff for school. Kia Ora!
