Rotorua

So, I got to New Zealand first thing yesterday morning, which was about 10 am back home. I was super tired from traveling for over 40ish hours and ready for sleep. no such luck. we met up, australearn that is, and got on a bus to drive four hours to Rotorua. I managed, somehow, to stay awake until about 7 pm last night, which was 8 hours later at home! gah, i was tired. i then happily passed out for 12 blissful hours.
today we all got up and had our second into session and then we went out to play. I went Zorbing! which was awesome! you get put in this 11 foot rubber ball with warm water and get pushed down a hill. it's like a water slide or something. so much fun! the states should totally do it!
then i learned a Maori war dance called the Katmate. which was super fun and also entertaining. as a New Zealander would say, it was sweet as. or cool. either way i had fun.
the people here are really cool and i am so glad to be here. i leave in two days for Hamilton and my Uni, the University of Waikato.

thats all for now :)

much love!

well all, this is it. my last night before i leaving for my semester abroad. i'm getting up bright and early tomorrow morning to head to the airport and then spending at least 24 hours traveling. Please pray for me and i hope to post again soon from a foreign country!
