The end is approaching...

So, one thing that sucks that I should have mentioned earlier but forgot to because I was so busy is that i actually extended my trip a bit...i realized there's a lot more that I want to see down here than I've been able to see (mostly up on the North Island, which I haven't traveled around at all) and I'm probably not going to be back here again for a long time, so I thought I should take advantage of this opportunity. I'm now leaving NZ June 30th, and on the way home I have a stopover in Fiji...I'll be there for a week, so officially I won't be getting back to the states until July 8th. I'm really sorry I didn't let you know earlier, I honestly completely forgot. It should be a great opportunity though...I'm just worried about money, which is rapidly running out. I might work on a farm for a couple weeks...you can do jobs like gardening and working with animals and stuff and get free food/accomodation...it sounds like a good way of traveling without spending a shit ton of money. Lord knows I've already done that.

I can't wait to hear all your stories about this last semester! I didn't know you started working at the Kings Park store...how is it? I'm also glad to hear that you like working for Mike and Rosa and are reconnecting with old friends/making new friends...I can't wait to meet them! Also, holy shit, you changed your major?! I would have never thought of you as a business major (mostly just because you never talked about it), but now that you say it, it totally makes sense/is a really good fit. After all, you've practically been running Ralph's since you started working there and now you're a big influence at Empire Ginger...good for you! Does this mean you'll be taking a bunch of business classes next semester? Oh, and car accidents...plural? I hope you're okay and I send hugs.

So, I have so many craaaaazy stories to tell you once I get home...I cannot believe everything that I've experienced this semester. I realized I haven't updated you since mid semester break...let's just say that that break finished off with snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef and skydiving. Since then, I've gone to see a couple of NZ's glaciers (one of which is called Fox Glacier, hehe), which are awesome because they're huge sheets of ice surrounded by (of all things) tropical plants. Palm trees and glaciers in the same view...it was weird/beautiful. What else? My friends talked me into performing at an open mic night here in Dunedin when I was stoned, so I ended up singing and playing guitar at open mic night about a month later...it was terrifying, but liberating, and my friends were really wonderful and supportive. Oh, and this might shock you a bit, but I dropped acid with three of my best friends and we had crazy adventures...I can't wait to tell you about them. Also, so many small things have happened...my hair is blonder than ever before (it's actually freaking me out a bit), I eat obscene amounts of PB&J (it's all I can afford), and people have introduced me to so much cool new music...I want to send you a CD.

Well, I should go coz I'm supposed to meet my friend Sarah soon. I miss you too and I'm sorry I haven't been better at keeping in touch. You are on my mind a lot, even if it's not always apparent. I love you, take care, and goodnight, sleep tight. Talk to you soon, ferrit girl.
