Day 53
So I went to school today and had a great day! Tomorrow I have soccer and I am really excited about it! I really wish that they had a track team that I could join. But today was really good! All of my classes were good and my Art is looking really nice! I like doing graffiti street art! I'm meeting a lot of new people and making new friends. I'm also starting to hang out with people after school! It is great to talk to people that you don't know! I am also picking up kiwi phrases which I guess is really funny!
Day 52
So I really didn't want to get up today because I got to bed late last night. But once I was moving around it was nice to be up. I went to school and I had fun. Art class was great and so was Math! I really miss my family and I hope that they know that I love them and miss them. So school was school, but I went to the Kapa Haka group and it was great. I really can't wait for wednesday when I get to do soccer and running!
Day 51
So today was actually very nice! The sun was shinning and the beach was nice! I love living so close to the ocean, but I really like the mountains! I went to Napier and slept in. Then I came home and put stickers on Pipi's pizza bread. But it was nice to stay up and watch a movie.

Day 50
I went with a couple of friends to see Inception today! The movie was was really cool and made you think about your dreams! But after that I went to Napier and looked at couches. Let's just say it wasn't the most exciting thing to do. But I came home and took a nap because I had this extreme headache, and I felt like poo. So I slept! I did talk to my family on ichat today and that really made me feel homesick! But I have to get over it, I guess.
Day 49 (Week 7)
Wow, I can't believe that I've already been here for 7 weeks! This is so crazy! It seems like just yesterday I was saying goodbye to my family and getting on that plane. I was leaving everything that I knew. Coming to a country that I couldn't even begin to comprehend, going to a new school, and most importantly meeting people that I would know for ever. My time here, so far, has been great!
Day 46
School and rain. That is the best way to describe today. I did talk to my dad on ichat! which was nice. Mom's in Vegas and Taylor's in lake Powell so I guess that it is really lonely for him, my mom, and my sister. But they know I'll be back so it's not that bad......

Day 45
I learnt the school haka today! The culture here is so diverse! I love all of the opportunities that I get to have at the school! I really miss my family at friends and some days are better than others!
Day 44
Today....school. But it was nice to go back to school! Moritz is now staying with us, so it'll be cool to have another exchange with me! There is a Canadian at the school now which is really cool! It's nice to have the little things like the same accent! I guess it's the little things that count!

Day 27
TODAY WAS GREAT!!!! I saw my parents on ichat and they seem to be doing exceedingly well! They know that I miss them, but I am settling in here in New Zealand. But the sad thing about today is that I had to say goodbye to some great friends that I made here in my short time in New Zealand. I'm going to miss you Olivia Kalber, Anna Fischer, and Kerstin Renken. They were great friends to me and I am going to miss them so much! But I won't be posting in a while because I'll be on a flying kiwi tour on the North Island.
