San Marcos Fair is in town!!- look it up on the net!!

Wow
So I thought I should look at my blog, and turns out I haven't posted since January!! I don't think anyone actually reads it anyways, but that's all good!! So, here's an update for the great big hole of cyberspace!!

Ok. I'm in Mexico now. Loving it heaps.
Working at the orphanage and also doing construction work 2 days a week which I love too!! :)
Have made some cool friends here, though unfortunately they are mostly all volunteers too and as it goes, most ppl go home at some point! So currently the best friend I have here is going to leave in June!! How sad! I will definitely miss her!!! And a couple of the other ppl will be leaving for summer, but will come back later in August/September. So, they won't be here, but then other ppl from the States or Canada will come down instead,so there'll still be ppl here to hang out with!! Always a nig turnover of ppl!!

Absolutely love the Mexican ppl, food, music and culture. I love the music! i guess some ppl ould tire of it quickly, even some Mexicans don't like it, but I do!! There's just something about it that I love when cars roll past - and instead of hiphop or rap blasting from their cars, it's ranchero or banda music - which cracks me up!!! :) Good times!! :)

Anyways, off i run now!!
Stay cool NZ!! :)

Less than 2 wks to go

So, in less than 2 weeks I'm off to Mexico. That came rather quickly!!
I am going to Mexico on Jan 15th for a year. Not entirely sure what I've signed myself up for!! :)
I haven't really even thought of packing yet, which doesn't worry me at all (should it?) but my mum can't understand how I'm not so worried about it!!

Ah well, it'll be different to what I know and am used to, that's for sure!!
So I guess all I can say is 'watch this space...' (but don't hold your breath cos I hardly post here while I'm in the country so I don't know why it'd be any different out of it!!) :)

long time no see

Wow!! I haven't been on here for so long - I actually almost forgot how to get in!! :) Oops! Ah well!!
I mainly use bebo - all cos my little brother wanted me to - and i kinda got a little addicted!

so, in case anyone reads this - this is what I'm up to now!!!:
-last week of uni starts today!!!!! yay!!
-maybe going on a labour wknd camp near Gore this wknd
-lots of uni work still to do
-only have one exam and it's on the last day of exams -ie, 15th nov
-will go to Hamilton and work for approx a month and a half
-Jan 15th - going to Mexico!! yeya!! -I'm going to work in an orphanage for the year
-should be studying for a fairly important test i have tomorrow!! :)

That's all for now!
Maybe I might post something at a later date about Mexico stuff - I'm pretty excited about it actually!! :) Yay!! :)

I really really need to be finishing off an assignment right now - hence the sudden desire to post!

I want to post something of interest, something that I've been thinking lots about lately. But there's nothing.
I can look at the screen for ages and nothing comes.
Funny thing is -is my brain has been working overtime lately, really quite annoying!, but now that I want to pull something out of it - it is blank.
It laughs at me!!

Meh! Can't win them all!

I'm going to Australia

It is nearly easter! I like easter a lot! - I think I like it cos it means holidays! Isn't that terrible, it should be a time to remember Jesus dying and resurrecting, etc, but I just want it for the holiday it gives me!
Not that I'm complaining about having a holiday, but does the rest of the world think that this is the only possible time in a year that I can think of Jesus dying on a cross for our lives??
Ah well, I'll enjoy my holiday!

I'm going to Melbourne for 2 weeks! Yay! : )

Post no. 50

I wasn't going to post today! I generally don't post (as ppl may have noticed), but then I saw that this would be my 50th post!! Wow! I've had a blog for just over 2 years i think, and all I've managed is 50 posts! : )

Oh well!

Last night me and Nicky delivered muffins to some boys, they were really good muffins! : ) Nicky made them, they had caramello chocolate in them! So good!

I like God! I think this year he is going to teach me more about time management!! I currently have 5 hrs of uni-contact hours and 8-10 hours of work (on 3 different days at random times). Considering these are the only things I have to do each week, I seem to have absolutely no time in my days!! Ok, that's not true, currently I'm not doing anything - I'm procrastinating going home cos i know I have to cook tea tonight! : ) But generally, I feel like my days just disappear and I'm rushing round trying to get stuff done - like heaps of Spanish homework!! Oh well!!
I guess really uber-organised people would have no trouble fitting themselves into my time schedule thing while also accomplishing a million other tasks!! But, I'm just not like them am I?!! : ) Oh well!! I think I'll just have to learn!!
I think it probly helps to add to that-that when I have heaps of free time it all gets taken up with nothing and i end up not doing anything, but if I'm real busy with not much free time, I can get everything I need done! - How does that work?!! : )

Ok, I'm going to go home now and start getting ready to cook tea!! I'm cooking schnitzel! I like schnitzel, it's yum! -and it's red meat, yay, which I think I need more of cos otherwise I get too tired!! : )

out of blogger darkness

Hello world
it's me again, i have returned!

Yeah, so, lack of posting over summer, it just happens!!

I'm back in Christchurch and I love it!
Different things in Chch:
-our flat has been painted- weird colours that don't quite work together
-we have a new shower, but unfortunately the same old shower head
-I signed up to gmail
-there's 'girly' things in the windows of the old suva st flat when i bike past
-some friends have moved away, but lots are still here

: ) oh i love Chch


What did I do over summer:
-work
-Christmas/New years =fun
-road trip
-work
-cell groups
-Parachute
-had a marvelous summer

Snippets from working in Frankton (lower SES area in Hamilton):
- walking down the road with a weird guy walking behind me singing 'look at the window shopper' - and then singing most moves I made - kinda odd, but amusing!!
- asking a workmate where the nearest park was -she looked at me and said there were car parks everywhere. When i clarified that I wanted a park with grass and swings, she looked at me disbelievingly and told me I wouldn't find one in Frankton, and what would I want a park for when I can sit nice and safely in the staff room!
- my personal favourite - you know when at the end of serving a customer you say something pleasant like 'have a nice day' or 'enjoy your weekend' etc etc, this old man looked at me with real conviction and said in a meaningful voice, 'May you survive.' I was stunned, I didn't know how to reply, he was so serious and really meant it! I don't know what he wanted me to survive but I think he didn't hold much hope of my surviving it at all!! : )

Anyways, would be awesome to catch up with people now that I'm back!
Please give me a txt or something if theres something going on, just hanging out's good!! : )
