Day 29

Today marks a month that I’ve been here- time sure flies when you’re having fun! This experience has been SO much fun! Last night Bruno, one of the boys here at International House, started talking about a weatherman that can tell the weather based on the moon’s distance from the earth and phase and everything and he predicted that since the moon is closer to the earth than it has been in a really long time that we were going to get an earthquake today in Auckland. However, we haven’t felt a thing!

Last night all of my friends and I ended up staying out until 7 am, getting back just in time for breakfast! I cannot believe we were dancing and having fun for so long! Social life here in New Zealand is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.
We didn’t end up going to the rugby game last night because the tickets were sold out, and we didn’t end up going to the zoo today because Jo, one of the girls in our group, was going to play for International House in the inter-hall volleyball tournament. Not going was probably a good idea, because it gave all of us some time to sleep before watching all of the halls play each other. International House came in second, which was great because we beat the O’Rourke Hall, which is our greatest rival.

Now, off to bed- lots of homework this week! Also, my first exam!!
