Have made my way over LA and Auckland finally to Wellington, where I got picked up by another international student from Victoria University. She dropped me off at the YHA, where I’ll spend a couple of nights before (hopefully) taking a little trip to New Plymouth and visiting Denise, Ross and their family before coming back for the weekend.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’m planning on dropping by the Vic International offices, to ask about the orientation next week. Other than that I’m pretty much dead on my feet – I think I’ll go lie down for a bit once my internet shuts down. I’d been kind of hoping to find a Starbucks with free wireless, but the walk I took while they got my room ready proved unsuccessful (although I found a place that serves very yummy waffles), so I’m currently paying for wireless access at the hostel. Which is fine, except that I really should be able to check my email regularly the next few days, until I get everything organized. Ah well, I’m sure it’ll work, one way or the other… *crosses fingers*<\/p>\n
And yes, I’m rambling – my brain’s about to shut down. Have I mentioned that I loathe long-distance flights? So glad I won’t have to take any for a while…<\/p>\n
Edit: Also, the time difference to Switzerlad is currently 12 hours – wow, I really could not have gone farther away, could I?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
