It's all a bit overwhelming but everything seems to be falling into place. I think that reality will hit shortly; I am on amazingly beautiful island, I am working and making money while I get to travel around the world, I get to be with family, I get to meet more amazing people and friends. I don't know if most people get to experience such a great opportunity in their lives, and I am so grateful for this time. One day I will settle down somewhere permanent?? At least my dad hopes so ;)
The last 5 days I have seen:
- Muruwai Beach - Gannets
- Orewa Beach - Wenderholm
- Takapuna Beach
- Manukau Harbor - Cornwallace
- Devonport Beach - walked through a bed of live sand dollars, kind of freaky!
Accomplishments of this week:
- Job - start working Monday :) Jan 11
- Friends - made at least 1 friend and went to singles activity
- Cell phone - got a number and pre-paid phone for my 'friends' to get a hold of me ;) hehe
- Bus pass - made my way around Auckland all by myself...eke.
As of today, I felt I have learned a few lessons on life:
Relationships are hard, especially when you are together 24/7, but it is worth it for the companionship, caring and love, you just have to choose your battles. People all over the world are good and have amazing hearts. Anthropology fascinates me! Change is good for the soul.
Upon arrival, Auckland Airport 5 am
