Saturday: Slept in until 3... as rumor has it. (I don't quite know how these things get around). Then headed down to the market to look around and see if I found anything worth buying. I kept going back and forth to this one booth trying to decide if I wanted to buy these bracelets or not, but I ended up not buying them. Rachel got the ones I really wanted anyways, and I didn't feel as hot for the other ones. Also, I didn't know exactly who I would get them for, so oh well! After walking around to a few stores, and not buying anything I headed back up to the apartment to make dinner. My mom skyped me right as I sat down to eat, and was surprised that I even knew how to cook; thanks Mom. I made for myself: shelled noodles and sauce, chicken seasoned with garlic salt, and toast. It was good. After dinner Rachel and I met up again and went to Starbucks to study. We still got a lot of work done (more than we would have back at the room) except we worked for about an hour less due to an unexpected visitor. There was a girl in there that noticed our American accents. She told us her name and that she was from Alabama. We asked her why she was here, etc.. and omg. She works for ELITE (magazine) in new York!!! She is staying in Auckland because she is able to work more and build her portfolio. We sat and talked with her for a long time, she was really cool. And get this- she was only 19! Traveling the world and modeling by 19, can you imagine? So anyways, she was traveling down in Queenstown for vacation from work. It kind of sucks because she travels and works alone. she said she makes friends pretty easily, but in that line of business you don't travel in pairs or groups. She said she is used to it now though. But we basically just spent the hour sharing lives and getting to know each other. It was really cool. After she left, we stayed for another hour and finished working, then walked back to our rooms, where I worked on homework and studied etc etc etc until the wee hours of the morning.
Sunday: HALLOWEEN!!! It's finally here! I slept in, once again. Woke up, worked on speech. and now I am sitting here. We have church in a little while, and afterwards we are having a little birthday celebration for Caleb (Professor & Teacher's son) then following all of that we are trick-or-treating! Just with our group of course.. but it should be fun. I am excited for the nights activities but it just sucks, because finals start tomorrow and I still have more studying to get done. Hopefully I will have enough time to finish it all and feel confident about my test. I need an 86 on my test tomorrow to keep my A. ahhhhhhh!! So we will see!
Hope everyone else is having a great day, and is having/has had a great Halloween!
Until Next Time :)
