'Ello!
IT'S TOMORROW HERE. [*cue crappy twilight zone rip-off music*]
First full, mostly awake day here. If I haven't said it already, it's pretty damn cold here-- magic actually, since the flats seem much colder than the actual air outside. Potential cause for this problem may have been found. Apparently, I don't know how to use space heaters. surprise surprise. When asked if it fell over, I shrugged, because who knew that they had to stand up to work well. Not I. Also, going back to the stone age tonight with my brand-spanking-new hot water bottle. Didn't know they still existed.
Store wandering started my day with getting lunch at a cute cafe in a mall which was filled with old people. A confusingly large amount of old people. I also made my way to the Op Shop [thrift stores here] and bought the ever unnecessary.
Food is kind of expensive here, and when I did my supermarket run yesterday I was more than confused. Eggs are not refrigerated. Interesting. Mayo may not be refrigerated either... or that one might just be that my flatmates think it doesn't need to be refrigerated. Tis a note-to-self for my next grocery store run.
Fish and chips are popular [some sort of left over from British reign perhaps], and as popular as they are, so is the combination of fish and chips + chinese food restaurants. Luckily due to an over purchasing of said f&cs, I was able to finish many that were otherwise going to go to waste. I haven't felt this greasy in a while.
Early afternoon I went for a campus tour, which due to the enthusiasm of the group for meeting people coupled with the French tour guide's quiet-talking and her only being in New Zealand for a few weeks, led to me learning zero about campus. Oh well. I met a ton of the other international students.
Also I ended up spending some time speaking with the graphics professor I'll be doing my special paper with. He's epic. The whole room is epic. I'm epically pumped. Let me repeat: epic. Not quite sure what I'm going to do yet, but all in time.
I was told that I'm an emancipated woman, only needing pockets.
Anyway, I must brew but the 7th cup of tea today, to fake that this icebox of a home is any bit warmer.
