People Talk a Little Funny.

Finally at my new home.

Cold as all anti-hell, my teeny space heater is chugging along depressingly to keep me warm. The bizarre thing is that it's most definitely warmer outside than it is in my flat, but nonetheless, I'm finally here!

The Flights:

JFK->LAX :

  • Oldest plane I've ever been on. There was a telephone in front of my seat. Label read, out of service.
  • Distant, aisle ceiling televisions with the most random assortment of crap to watch.
  • Met someone who's destination was also Otago. chatted entire way.
LAX->AUK :
  • Comically long plane ride.
  • Gorgeous, spacious, comfy airplane.
  • Chick next to me didn't mutter a word; she just slept.
  • Upon waking up from my short slumber, I noticed she had climbed over me to use the bathroom. I wish more people were willing to make that risk and not wake me.
  • Read 1.5 books.
  • Watched Bob's Burgers [hilarious]
  • Best airplane food I've ever had.
  • 2 complimentary glasses of wine with my meal.
AUK->DUN :
  • Had to frantically run in the airport to get my bags and recheck them. Hurt back.
  • Arrived at terminal dripping sweat. Flight got delayed. 
  • Realized majority of plane was Otago Amurrricans. Made Frenz
  • Whilst getting off the plane, noticed snow.
Anywho, I did all the starter things, like moving in, unpacking, going to the supermarket, getting a cell phone [I have absolutely no idea what my number is] and meeting various people.

New Zealand seems pretty awesome, though I have not interacted with any Kiwi students yet, aside from one briefly on the plane.
