Ah yes...
I had a very fun weekend. I left for Auckland at 7:50 on friday night. The bus trip was quite uneventful, didn't get much sleep since the seats didnt recline very much and there was someone sitting next to me. We arrived in Auckland and hour and a half early, around 5:15. I felt bad texting Mark that early, so I went to a cafe and just had a smoothie and such. Then I texted and met up with Mark. We went back to his room and hung out for a bit, then went on a brief campus tour-ish, and got some food and such. Then we hopped on the ferry to Waikehe Island where we had planned to go kayaking. Unfortunately for us, it was raining and I dont think the kayak place was open so we wandered over to a little town and got some fish and chips for lunch and chilled on the beach for a while. It was really nice and relaxing. Then we got Hell pizza for dinner. It was really, really, really good! (Not quite west coast cheesy sticks) mmm...pizza. and then came the simple plan concert. This Kiwi band called 48 May opened for them and they were actually really good. I stole their music from mark after the concert cuz i liked it. They were good, but when you don't know the songs it's not quite as cool. Then simple plan played and they were fucking awesome. the best concert i've ever been to. I knew all the songs, they were awesome live, not too loud, actually understandable...played good songs, not super crowded so i couldn't move, good songs...ah it was awesome. i can't even think of how to properly describe it. i danced and sang along and it was really fun. woo!!!!
on sunday i listened to the Cal football game for a while and then gave up on it and we went to the zoo. it was still raining, but it was fun. we got a bit wet, but it was really fun. elephant butt pictures and all = P
the bus ride home was boring, i got hit on by a 40 yr old dentist who barely spoke english. "you have nice eyes, can i get your email?" hahahahahha.
got home at 6:40am and went back to bed til 10.
got up, went up to campus and printed stuff and returned library books...came back down and cheated on my birthday presents from my parents, i'm now watching lord of the rings = ) i now am the proud owner of all three!!! yay!!!! go aragorn! go legolas! go gandalf! go gimli!
k, that's enough of that.
you know, i have stuff that i wish i could write about, but i can't. people read this and could get mad at me or something of that sort.
we're in our last week of classes now, this semester is almost over, it's almost summer break!
i'm working on finding a good way to motivate myself to run. you'd think that not liking the way i look at the moment would be motivation enough, but for some reason it's not. so weird. gah...i dont want to go to work tomorrow.
i got an application to work at a bagel shop and i want to turn it in tomorrow so i can finally quite getting up at 5am. i'm so fucking sick of having to go bed at fucking 9 so that i can wake up and get a decent amount of sleep. fucking getting up at fucking 5am.
we had a time change, so now it's a 20 hour difference between here and home. it also means that getting up at 5 tomorrow will feel like i'm getting up at 4am. fuck that!
this is probably getting kind of long.
maybe i'll start keeping a written journal too so that people cant read it and tell me i'm stupid or something.
