Hey guys!
Sorry for the lack of updates, but since I've been back from Thailand my life hasn't been very update worthy! Anyways, I moved into a new flat in Auckland about a month ago, and I'm loving it way better than my housing situation last semester. Here's the characters that I live with:
Andrew - born in Poland, lived in South Africa until he was 14, and then moved with his family to New Zealand. He's pretty good to have around the flat but is still a little weird.
Kasper (the friendly ghost) - is Danish and really strange. He means well though. Both of the guys that live here are kind of messy and it's always the girls cleaning up.
Maddi - a 19 year old from San Diego (!!) here for the year just like me. She goes to school in Seattle though. She's pretty awesome and even though she's a lot younger I still get along with her.
Kelsi - she just turned 20 and she's a Kiwi. Definitely my favorite of the flatmates. She's just like me personality wise and I think I've gotten along the best with her
Aside from my new living situation, school is going pretty well. My degree at UCSD will only let me take one Psychology class outside of San Diego (which I took last semester), so this semester I'm just taking easy/interesting classes to boost my GPA. I'm taking film studies, advertising and society, drama on stage and screen, and history of the French Revolution. That last class actually counts for some general education back home, so at least something this semester counts!
I've been keeping pretty busy at school (we are already in our fourth week!) mostly because all of my friends left at the end of last semester. I'm sure I'll meet more people, but it's been hard! Is till have a few Kiwi friends from last semester though. The other night was my friend Jessica's 21st birthday so we just went into town. I met an All Black at a pub that night too! If you guys don't know, the All Blacks are the national rugby team for New Zealand, aka the team that will be playing in the world cup. I'm getting so excited for it! They say about 100,000 people are coming to New Zealand just for the event, and a majority will be in Auckland. PARTY. Hopefully I'll get to go to a game or two.
Anyways, sorry for the boring entry. I didn't put any pictures up because I haven't done anything super exciting yet. I'm going on a trip to the South Island in about two weeks, so that should be really fun! You can expect a more exciting post then. I miss and love you all!!
