Welcome to New Zealand

so all things are going well. i have arrived here in Cambridge smoothly (ish)

well the journey started off with a sail and an late night at the local pub. so the sail was on the beautiful lake macquire; and it was a huge lake (yes i've said it again). we came second last in the club race but when thinking about how many people onboard the boat was actually sailing that might expain the reason. then at the pub we were visted by 8 police officers, but they were boring and just looked around and chatted to a few people then had a mother's meeting outside! lol.
the short sleep and up at 6 leaving at 7 and dropped off at the airport. it was a drop and go which i find best as said goodbyes and then i can just sort myself out without having to think about where there are of being poilte (that was when my dad dropped me off, lol, no he took me out for coffee before i flew so he can do that anytime. hint hint dad for next time). but anyway i looked at the checkin tv screen to see where to go to and couldnt find my flight :O
luckily there was a lady standing next to the board and kindly told me that to remember that it is now daylight saving in NSW so i looked forward to the hour after, and there it was! i arrived with an extra hour, the silly plane people. but it is all good! i just had an extra hour waiting in an seat reading before we left.

arrived here and was picked up, tho my auntie was worried that my uncle would forget me as he was picking me being the only one in the house for the week. but it was all very easy so that made me feel better. it was election day and so had the fun fun ness that was american election all over again (why do the whole world care enough to extremely follow their election, why not just in the news??). but then we knwo the answer to that question, they have control in some form or other over the whole world. but i dont like politics so am trying to avoid it.

just chilled out compleatly on sunday and had my auntie arrive later in the afternoon. monday was job hunting day!!! we walked into the local pool where they have already recieved my cv and as they knew my auntie jumped to who i was and so i didnt even have an introduction!! lol, but now i am going to an first aid training day tomorrow as need to have the qualifiactions over here, so then i have the assessment left so should be working by the end of next week. i will also but mainly based at an other local town as that is where the hours are and they are hoping that i will be able to work slightly higher than just lifeguard but they will see how it all goes etc. so that is very good news :D

now that is what my life will be, trying to pretend that i am a kiwi for the next 4months deff and possible 5 depending on how i feel when i go travelling the south island(yes tracey i will make sure that i go there as that is just what i am missing in seeing NZ, oh and above auckland but that is in hand too).

im sorry if i have rambled but i feel that it has turned that way. but just things have happened and so remembering order is hard. now i have to go to the bank here as the account number i have for my account here doesnt make sense to transfer money here; now that is annoying. oh and actually sort out an local number!

righty oh, i'd best get on with things then and allow you to try and work out if what i have said makes sense.
