Just settling into my new home!

Hey everybody!
Sorry I haven't blogged in a little while, but it's been pretty boring around here in terms of blog writing material haha I've just been settling in, going to orientation, buying groceries and other stuff to make my experience here as "homy" as possible. The weather has been pretty bad lately...it's been raining A LOT. That's New Zealand weather for ya. It's supposed to be sunny and warm this weekend though so we are probably going to go to the beach :)
I feel like I've adjusted pretty well here...no homesickness as of yet. It really is a lot like America, except with different accents and different sayings. I'm planning on doing a whole blog about their different words and sayings soon..should be interesting for you all haha Some of them are quite strange! I've met lots of people so far because everyone in the Ilam Apartments (where I'm living) is very social and WANT to meet lots of people. It's like freshman year all over again, but I like it! I hang out with my flat mates a lot which is great. We all get along really really well. We've met some girls above us that we hang out with a lot as well. I'm glad to have found a great group of girls to hang out with already. Even though I applied to live in a co-ed flat, I ended up with 4 other girls as roommates...which seems to be working out great! Two girls are from the U.S., Leah and Ali, who are from South Carolina and Kentucky. Leah is a junior, while Ali is a sophomore like me! Alyssa is 22 and is from Edmonton, Canada and Martina is from Germany! Bridget (a kiwi), Angie, who is from Canada and Louis (a kiwi as well) round out our group. We're all trying to figure out this whole Uni thing and it's nice to have other people to lean on. There are a lot of Americans here, which is great but I've also met a lot of kiwis so far which is what I came to do!
I guess that's the only update I have...I've been able to watch the Olympics a LITTLE bit, which is sad because I'm usually obsessed with watching them haha It's weird with the time difference and I've been so busy, but I'm going to be watching them as much as I can. Alright, well I hope all is well and I'll blog again soon!
