Yesterday, I feel I really grew up Terra and I made it to town and box not by Taxi, but you guessed it by taking the bus! Still not sure I am up for a bus adventure of my own yet. Slowly but surely my dorm aka hostel room is becoming more and more homey. I finally got thumb tacks and therefore can hang the pics my sis kat printed out for me. Oh I also purchased a pillow today which I am so happy about because I have been needing another one. Let me tell you about my pillow this is no ordinary pillow this pillow is complete with Panda Bears! I didn't want to buy an expensive pillow because I will only be here for a short period so they had this really cheap pillow at Kmart that is green and has panda bears on it. After choosing it Terra so loveling told me it reminded her of something you would find at a second hand store. ewww! However, I do have a pillow case to cover up the oddly realistic panda bear print. So dad, panda bears really do exist in NZ.
Last night I went to a place called Hell's pizza! It was really pretty good. I got a kind of Hawiianish pizza. To get there pretty much took a leap of faith. We first asked a rather crazy old women where the hells pizza was located. She then obsessed over helping us find it, which then led her to introduce us to her not so crazy daughter, and finally we were able to enjoy some cheesy pizza. Oh have I mentioned they go bare foot here even in the rain. Places they go barefoot: mall, diner, orientation, for a walk around campus and oh much more.
I have my papers (classes) sorted out I believe. I was very excited to find out that I only need to take 3 papers instead of 4 which should hopefully lead to a much more relaxing semester, and 3 or 4 papers is considered full time at Massey. The classes I am taking are animal growth and meat production, reproduction and lactation physiology and dairy production. I am really excited about taking dairy especially after touring there dairies here. I think I should become a new Zealand dairy farmer. gum boots and all?
Ok for now I am off to another adventure, I am going to go see the movie Valentine's tonight with the orientation group. Having a blast! love you Jane
