Auckland Bound!

   I'm leaving for Auckland tonight... how exciting! I'm nervous to fly alone, but the flight is only an hour long. Piece o' cake.

   Anyways, let me back track and tell you about my weekend. It was awesome! Friday evening, I took the bus to Brooklyn, which is a suburb of Wellington. I went to my friend Alice's house to hang out with her and her flatmates and friends. It was just the weekend I needed! Friday night, we made absolutely delicious pizza. The dough was homemade whole wheat, and we put roasted pumpkin (cut up and roasted that night, of course), spinach, tomato, olives, sausage (from Alice's cow), and cheese on top. It was so so so amazing! The pizza was so homemade, and I think that made it taste even better.

Okay, so the leftovers don't look as good.
But it still looks pretty good, doesn't it?!

   After eating as much pizza as we possibly could, we all got in our pjs and got cozy. We watched 10 Things I Hate About You, and somehow ate tons of junk food. What a perfect girl's night in!
   I spent the night in Brooklyn, and the next morning, we started all over again with our feast! Homemade pancakes, banana soft serve, berry compote, cinnamon, and maple syrup were on the menu for breakfast. It was so divine! Can I live there?
   I bussed home later that day, and then spent all day watching movies and eating in my pjs. After being on the move so much, and always having something to do or somewhere to go, it felt so good to do nothing. Sunday was just as lazy, and it was exactly the weekend I had been craving.

   Today, Monday, is the day I leave for Auckland. My flight is at 8 tonight, so I've had all day to get ready. I've been pretty productive! I packed, went to the bank, went to campus, and did some other errands today. I went to campus to hang up flyers for Spanish tutoring - I think it might be the only way for me to make some money over here since my visa doesn't allow me to work. Hopefully some students are interested!
   I've never flown alone before, so this should be interesting. I have to get myself to the airport and then figure out what to do. I'm a little nervous, but I can do it! In 5 short hours I'll be in Auckland, and I can't wait to explore!
