While they were flying Saturday, Hallie and I had a busy day. I unpacked a little more in the morning, then we headed to the Oriental Bay Beach to meet up with Elysia, Hallie's 'buddy.' The school sets international students up with buddies that already attend Victoria. Elysia was really nice, and we talked a lot.. about everything! We also walked around downtown Wellington for a while, and went to a few vintage-y flea markets. So cool! I can already tell I'm going to be walking for 4 straight months.
Hallie and I decided to get groceries Saturday evening. We looked for all the stuff that was on sale, and we bought a week's worth of food for a steal! I'm so proud of us. It's like we're real adults now! When we got home with all of our groceries, Paul called us Americans! I guess they don't stock up on food here like we do in the States...
Today was the laziest of days. I stayed in my pj's all day today! I'm taking advantage of my one last chance to relax before classes start tomorrow and I get super busy. I'm excited to start school- I've been on break since mid-December! It's so weird that US students are almost on Spring break since I haven't even started my semester yet.
I skyped my family during their travels today. They have been traveling since about 4 am Saturday morning. It's now Sunday at 8 pm and they're still going! They'll be getting to Bangor in 12 more hours. What a long haul! I'm so lucky they traveled around the world for me!

| They've been traveling for over 24 hours. Can you tell? |
Hallie and I cooked our first dinner together tonight. We decided to make tacos, and I think they turned out pretty darn good!

| Soo happy about the tacos! |
We also went downstairs to an ice cream social for Stafford
residents. So much ice cream! And so many people!
Today was a good lazy day, but I'm ready to be busy. Wish me luck on my first day of classes!
