• I'm in Auckland now, and I'll actually be here for the next few days now. I managed to get a quickie temp job stuffing envelopes at the office that co-ordinates the program I'm in for my visa. It's just a couple of days work, but it's something, and it gives me a little cash and a little time to get myself better situated. So, cool. Now I just have to figure out what I want to do in the Auckland area for the weekend, but I may have that covered. We'll see.

  I've done a bit of bonding with one of my roommates at the hostel. She's from Belgium, and she got in yesterday as well. We're both kinda happy to find someone else about the same age doing the same thing; there are a couple of girls in the room who just always seem to be there; I'm not sure why they're even in New Zealand, since it seems like they're spending all their time in the hostel. But whatever; to each their own.

  I may have a tentative plan for at least the next couple of weeks. I'll do the work here the early part of next week, then probably head north to Paihia. I may end up picking fruit, but I'd like to spend some time up there. Then bop through the North Island with one of the hop-on, hop-off backpacker buses down to Wellington. And I'll figure out the rest after.
