today i woke up and just lied in bed for a little bit thinking, "am i really here? is this a dream? is this me trippin'?" at first, it was such an odd feeling to be so far from home and not know a single other soul. i don't know how to describe it, its just weird. and other people who have done this kind of thing know exactly how i feel, but until you're actually on your own, by yourself, you'll have no idea of what i'm going through. and its cool because its like a fresh start. no one in new zealand knows anything about you. but then again, these people have known each other for at least the past five years of their high school. its kind of like you're on the outside, looking in. and its sorting through the good and the bad people. haha, if that makes sense at all. its just such a good feeling of having that freedom and independence, meeting new people and being immersed in a completely different culture.
anyways, i slept over at dorothy's house again yesterday,
for those of you who forget she comes from Rhode Island, back home in the states.
We climbed this massive (and when i say massive, i am actually under-exaggerating) hill/mountain. it was so exhausting. and i must admit, when dot told me that the view was great, i was just thinking yeah, yeah. a view is a view. there's nothing special about that.
but when we got to the top i saw things from her point of view. it was incredible. words cannot describe it. it was just really exhilarating.
all in all, it was a pretty good day.

Hi Poppet! Wonderful photos! You are so right when you say that we can't possibly understand how you feel right now. It must seem a little strange, but very exciting at the same time. Just enjoy every minute of this fantastic adventure - and keep blogging it!:) One day, I would love to visit these beautiful places myself, but for now, I will enjoy seeing them through your eyes. New Zealand does seem an incredibly beautiful country. Stay safe! Love you! Mum and Miz Henry meoww x
