Hobbit Style

Well, im here. I made it. I got to Auckland international airport at 8am this morning and was picked up by a very nice man named Ron. He drove me to the Railway Campus where my apartment is. The railway campus is a beautiful building. It was an old railway station that the University of Auckland bought and turned into campus owned apartments. I am living on the ground floor in a 3 bedroom apartment. As of yet, i havent met any of my other roommates. Today was spent sorting stuff out. Sorting my classes, sorting my apartment, sorting my phone cards (which I have now) and sorting out this city. Right now im in a convience store on Fort st. that has a bunch of computers set up with internet. I wont be able to use the internet at school until my ID comes in early next week. ugh. once again, internet hates me, but its not a far walk to this place and the guy behind the counter is very nice. Really though, everyone who ive met here is very nice. Im happy. I have a mailing address! for those of you who asked me for it; it is:

When i sent letters to my friend while he was here a year ago it took 3 stamps, if you were wondering. So right now, my apartment is a little sterile, but its warming up, one girl is already there. It was funny, i walked into the apartment with one bag whcih i thought was huge, and im faced with piles and piles of stuff. This girl must have 8 times as much stuff as i do, thought aparently she has been here for a while. We have a little kitchenette for small foods but there is a communal cooking area where we have an apartment fridge and cabinet, its wierd, you walk in and it looks like the walls are lined with lockers but they are fridges. ill take pictures once my internet is set up. ok well this is long enough, ill talk to you all later. bye!
