• Hello xanga. I'm on the other side of the world.

  Everything's been going pretty well. My flights went really well (although I had to run between a couple airports. Separated terminals are a beast). I've been here just over a week but it feels like so much longer...not sure if that's a good thing or not. I've posted a lot of pictures on facebook and myspace so..go there to look for my pics.

  Classes start tomorrow. I've heard that classes here are easier than back in the states but then again they have a shorter semester so they might try to cram as much in as they can. I'm hoping for the earlier. My flatmates are all really cool but all American...kind of a downer since I came so far to experience different things. They're from all over the states so it's not really a huge loss. Gabrielle and I are gonna head down to this farmer's market down on the harbor here in about 15 minutes or so. They have really cheap stuff compared to the ridiculously priced stuff at New World or the Warehouse (grocery store and equivalent of a small Walmart).

  So far everything's going really well but I haven't really been blown away with the whole thing. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to or if it's supposed to just become more normal. Granted I haven't really been able to leave Wellington and see other parts of the island yet...perhaps that's when the majesty will make itself apparent.
