Well, I think last time I wrote we were about to leave for the Otago Rail Trail. That was an extremely fun trip, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. For much of the trail I felt like I could have been in England or Scotland, and for the rest I felt like I was about to stumble upon a few hobbits or some orks. It was incredible. It was also awesome to get to spend some more quality time with my host family - I really enjoyed that a lot. Biking during the day, staying in the only B&B in the tiny towns along the track each night, eating, laughing... it was awesome. I would reccomend it to anyone who finds themselves down in the Central Otago area.
When we got back, I found a package from my family waiting for me full of easter treats! That was very exciting, it made my day! We were all quite tired so we got a good nights sleep that night, and then the next day I boarded a bus at 1 and headed off to Nelson to stay with my support coordinator Lisa's family at a bach on Jackett Island. That trip was incredible as well, I had so much fun up there. We basically hung out, ate chocolate, went to the beach/ocean, ate chips, played cards, ate more of both, and had a great time. I really appreciate being able to go up there, and was thankful to have been invited! On the way back to Nelson on Easter we went over near Golden Bay for a bit to look at the "cow mummy," literally a cow that died and the skin simply became petrified. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen, but at the same time it was pretty awesome!
The rest of the break passed without much of note happening, I hung out a lot and just relaxed, which was quite nice. The only other big thing happening for me is that I am switching schools this term, because MGC wasnt working out on various levels. Tomorrow is my first day at Queen Charlotte College, and I'm excited but also really nervous. Fingers crossed that it goes well!
