SO
new zealand is the shit, in case anyone was wondering.
It's Thursday here and I have no classes today OR tomorrow.
I think I may have figured out a way to drop my English class which will mean I will have a FOUR day weekend EVERY WEEK! If I drop this class, it also means I will only have to pay like, 60 bucks for books instead of $200!
But the professor is really, really attractive. That will kind of suck, but honestly with the accent and the body, I wasn't able to pay attention to either of the lectures I've had so far.
And if I drop this class, I can make writing my no. 1 priority.
Sweet as!
So I still can't get over how beautiful this area is. It gets mighty windy, though. They call Wellington the windy city here- they also named the rubber boots "wellys" after this city. Once summer (and this drought) end, I may be a little more miserable than I am right now, but until then...
NEW ZEALAND IS AMAZING!!!!!!
I just ate a big bowl of cereal for noon-time breakfast, so after I digest a little, I'm going to go for a run on the board walk. I'm a little nervous to do so because my ankle's still kind of effed up from my nice trip down the stairs... as is my knee. I can walk without a limp and I can climb up all ten flights of stairs to my room (some jerkoff set the elevators on fire a week before we were supposed to move in...they don't work anymore.), but after I've been sitting for a few minutes, I can't walk right for a while and I can't run down stairs anymore (granted, that's how I got myself into this pickle in the first place, so maybe that's for the best). I also can't go on my tip toe. I think that's the most frustrating part. I mean, it's not like I'm a ballerina, but going up on pointed toes is always a good indicator of strength and healing, and it's been over three weeks and that's still not happening. I don't know. I think I'm going running because I want to see if this is serious. Obviously it's taking longer to heal since I only rested it for 3 days and have been walking at least 3 miles every day after that. So if I can physically run, I think it's a good indicator that it's OK and that it's just not done hurting yet.
I have to get used to my joints feeling like shit ALL the time anyway- it will be good practice for when I'm 60.
