And finally, back in Auckland

It has seriously been so nice to be home in Auckland the past few days. Two of my flatmates aren't here, so there's only three of us at the moment, but that means less people cooking in the kitchen and whatnot. Wednesday, when I got back, my goal was to go to the grocery store but that definitely didn't happen. I caught up on Glee. It was great.

Thursday I did Indo-Fijian dance in class! It was sweet as. I really wanted the instructor to talk more about the hand movements and the cultural context, but oh well. My wrists were killing me afterwards. I ran home from class that day because it was raining. Also, I have gained some weight while here, which I'm pretty sure is very normal while studying abroad, but I've decided I'm going to start running. We're going to see how long that lasts, since my goal was to go again tonight but it got dark around 5:30. Grr. And Kapa Haka on Thursday night was fun. Worked more on the poi. Poi is seriously really difficult though. I keep hitting my forearm/head when it comes to spinning the poi fast. And then three of us flatmates who are here watched the sixth Harry Potter movie, which was sweet.

On Friday dance class was shorter because everyone else was leaving for the weekend for another Dance Studies course so I got out earlier! I went to Tai Ping for some fruits and vegetables and then got to skype with my friend Chelsea. It was an excellent and productive day. At night, we threw a Royal Wedding party at my flat so we dressed up (sort of) and wore crowns. It was fun. I was sad because I wasn't really watching the wedding (I could care less) but I wanted to see the "I do" part and I missed it. :-/

girls in tiaras!

Yesterday I didn't do much besides update my blog, but then my flatmates and I plus Maddi watched the fourth Harry Potter movie last night. I would say we're on a Harry Potter kick, but it's really the only movies that we have. I didn't bring any movies here and my flatmates don't have that many.

And today I've spent a good chunk of the day finally finishing my blog posts about my South Island trip, but now I am FINI and am going to go cook dinner. What shall it be tonight? I know, question of the day. Try not to lose any sleep. Also: it's May?! How/when did that happen?
