I'm in Auckland!

It's 7:29pm on Friday night in Auckland.

I've arrived! I don't have much time to write since I'm on some pre-paid internet usage thing (and since I'm exhausted and hungry), but I wanted all of you to know that I made it to New Zealand!!!!

I've got to tell you a little bit about last night before I go into today...I got back last night from taking a shower (so I didn't have to get up earlier than 4:30am to get the airport) and I had a new roommate in the room! Her name is Erin and she was super excited that I was going to New Zealand since she considers herself a Kiwi (all New Zealander's are called Kiwi's...fyi). She was born in Australia, but grew up in NZ and still loves it! She called herself a gypsy since she hasn't lived anywhere for more than a year for a long time. She was most definitely the most unique person I have met thus far. She talked really fast and reminded me ( I just figured out who) of how quick Cambree used to talk back in like 6th grade...Oh, I just realized most of you don't know who that is. Anyways, it was funny seeing her interact with Marika! Haha, let's just say there were two opinionated people that didn't see eye to eye...

Anyways, the thing just buzzed so I got to go! More later, I promise!
