Laundry? Why not Blog!

So my first attempt at laundry here angered me so, so lets hope the 2nd attempt is better. However, the laundry mat here at the hostels is FREE, nothing makes me angrier than paying to wash my clothes and a free mat was a blessing sent from heaven. So last time I did laundry it was later at night and I didn't realize my machine kept becoming unbalanced and was no longer working. Oh how it frustrated me! 4 or so hours later I finally had clean clothes. So this time I am writing this blog in computer lab by the laundry mat so that I can stalk my washer and make sure it keeps on spinning.

Last night I went out with a big group of international students, there was Germany, Norway, Canada and possibly Singapore or something like that. There was also some from iowa, new hampshire and CA! We really had fun, and did not get home until very late or possibly very early depending upon your perspectve. Once we left the last pub, we wanted to get some food. There we joined up with some Kiwi's and they said late night food is always McDonalds. All I wanted was a burrito but so far I have yet to see a single piece of mexican food. So we hit up the micky D's and there is this one completley obnoxious girl there with us. She was being so rude, I wanted to slap her, to sum it up I would say she was experiencing a complete power trip, but we didn't let that ruin our night, we simply laughed at her antics. Terra and I got happy meals complete with a strawberry shortcake stamp toy. We went back to my flat and ate there and then off to bed, to bed I said. Then I woke up had a chat with Jake and my mom, went to the dining hall and now I am sitting here stalking a washing machine.


In my spare time during this spy game in the laundry mat I thought I would compose a list:
Things I love about NZ!
1. It is so green here, like freakishly green, green beyond belief.
2. Turkish food
3. garbage is called rubbish way more sophisticated.
4. Laundry is Free!
5. My dorm room, especially my panda pillow, best $9 ever spent. Love that pillow think I will try and bring it home with me.
6. They have 2 dollar coins. So change actually matters.
7. Accents and all the fun words that come along with it. ie: jandals, togs, etc
8. Hokey pokey ice cream
9. Slices from the bakery
10. The secret garden I found on campus.
11. That somebody finally helped me turn the sound off the key board on my phone. When you would press the buttons it would say it: you would press one it would say 1.
12. Ducks, there are ducks everywhere, like I think I am on the verge of freakishly obsessed with the ducks.
13. blister band aids are cheaper here.
14. My dish I bought to put my rings on.
15. Aimlessly wandering with no plan in mind.
16. Vodka tonics made with out a fresh lime but with lime juice.
17. Everyday talking to someone new, and learning about them.

The thing I don't like, not getting to see all of you, but at least there is skype and its only 4 months.
FYI, since I became a laundry stalker my machine has not stopped spinning once, and in fact my clothes are already in the dryer, so I am going to go watch some tv. Love Jane
