Waiting for my next class to start, and taking advantage of some free internet. It's weird that classes have started already, but I think I'm really going to like all of mine so far. Although, my judgement hasn't been the greatest, being sick the last few days. But I've slept a lot, and I'm almost completely better! Yay for good health! Being sick definitely made me super homesick though. I really miss everyone!! Thankfully I got to skype with some of you last week, but sometimes I think skyping and stuff just makes me miss my friends more. And then I avoid talking to people for, like, a day. And I just end up thinking not being able to talk to people I know is even worse. Guess it's just something I have to get used to.
But enough of being a downer, I've got a funny story to share! So, the first day of classes was yesterday, and I was sick and feeling awful. But I told myself "Lauren, suck it up, you have your first day of New Zealand classes! Get pumped!" So i tried that, somewhat sucessfully. And walked to campus. And found my first lecture hall pretty fast. Only it wasn't the right time. And my real first lecture was across the river and up four flights. So I walked as fast as I could, got there late, had to be let in because the door was locked, and generally felt incredibly embarrassed for the next hour. Thankfully, I made to the rest of my classes alright, and I've had friends in every one of them! And today in Geology, a Kiwi complemented my gummies, which are also know as wellies, which are also known as rainboots. I felt so bad when he first said something to me, because I literally had no idea what he said. Sometimes those Kiwi accents are just too much for me!
So classes are good so far, and I have to go to one right now. So talk to you all soon!! And Amber, I'm working on that Kiwi (the bird) picture, I won't forget!
