Wai-te-ata

This is the name of the apartment building I live in. I have the most incredible view ever. It overlooks the city and the ocean and mountains. I love my life. 

New Zealand is just rolling, green hills. Walking to and from places is a literal workout. Im going to have the best legs and butt by the time I get back! I love everything here. The people are so cool. The accents are really easy to pick up. Apparently I've said a few words here and there with a Kiwi accent... and I don't even know it! YAY! I'm going to be so cool when I come back. hhaha, just kidding. I'll still have my american accent. Stupid sauce. 

I am currently sitting in an internet cafe because my apartment doesn't have internet yet. I have to wait for someone to get back from vacation before that gets all figured out. I am taking three classes and spent the better part of my day yesterday in orientation and standing in lines so I could simply sign up for 3 classes. Everyone in America: please be happy about the way we register for classes, because goodness gracious its hectic and unorganized here. 

One thing I've noticed is that all the boys between ages 13-23 have this weird rat tail hairstyle going on. EWW. Its like a mini-mullet. Some of them have mohawks and they just aren't put up so it looks weird. Thats fine.. but there are SO many guys here who have like a short haircut and then this little, awkward rat tail at the base of their head.... why?! All of us were just shocked as to how many people have this hairstyle... ha. Anyways, I thought I'd share that with you because i personally find it really funny. I wish I had pictures. I still have to upload all my pics because I am all paranoid that when I plug it into the outlet something is going to blow up.

I gotta say, if there's one thing that needs to be universal, it should be the outlets! 

Anyways, I think thats all for now. Classes start Monday! :)
