A Day in the Life

M'kay so it has once again been far to long since I have updated my blog. But not too much has been going on, so I guess thats ok they probably would have been boring posts anyway. Last weekend Kasia, Yurie (our 2-week Japaneese student) and I hung out on Saturday and watched Sound of Music. Awesome movie. I love that movie so much. And then Sunday Yurie, Alicja and I went for a walk in the Withers in the rain, and went to the Chocolate Factory and to a little village-thing near the wineries. Overall a low-key but fun weekend. Earlier this week I was feeling awfully homesick, I have to admit. I'm not really sure why, but I literally thought about home every waking moment. I found myself missing the silliest things. Driving to Home Depot with my dad. The Leaf and Bean. Walking into Mom's office after school. Our silly good-night rituals at home. Simple things that I have found make a huge difference. It was a tough couple of days. Yesterday afternoon I went to cycling though, which helped. Today was much better - I played squash with Lara after school and had a decent day of classes, other than ending with physics which always sucks. I think it also helps that I am super excited for the weekend. Which brings me to part 2: This weekend, I have my AFS camp!! Woo! Everyone from the South Island is going, which will be awesome. Tomorrow after school I am getting dropped off in Nelson for the night, and Friday morning we leave to drive down near Christchurch. I hope it is a fun weekend, and I have the feeling it will be! On Friday I have officially been here for 9 weeks. Term one ends in two weeks and then we leave for our Otago Rail Trail trip. Unfortunately I have to wrap up now because my new favorite TV show is almost on - "Packed to the Rafters," an awesome Aussie show about a close-knit family with 3 older kids and a new baby, and their relationships, troubles, etc.
