one week past... 11 more to go

well i have hit my one week mark and i am adjsuting quite nicely. I thought that to start off i should educate my fellow canadians in some NZ vocabulary: (bear with me)
  1. "tea" -supper
  2. "supper" -tea time/snack
  3. "average" -really bad
  4. "heaps" -lots
  5. "biscuit" -cookie
  6. "lollies" -candy
  7. "biscuiting" -inner tubing
  8. "rubbish" -garbage
  9. "toilet" -washroom
  10. "the boot" -the trunk of a car
  11. "nappy" -diaper
  12. "gutted!" -shoot!
well those are a few of the words that i have noticed. i am actually picking up quite a lot of them and i think that i sound like a kiwi now... even though my brother thinks that i just sound like a blonde.

some of the things that i have done since my last post are shopping (heaps), swimming at an indoor water park called "QE two", and watching movies with my mates. I have been having lots of fun and just yesterday i booked my bus tickets so i am all set for my travels... they will begin in two weeks. (yay!) So for now i am socializing and relaxing; it is quite hard now let me tell you :)

i will be posting more photos once i have an adapter to put my camera battery recharger into the outlet (they are shaped differently here) and then i will have more for you :D

bon soir!

Geez, Mr.G has been on this!
Well,thanks for the vocab, I'm not sure I'll need biscuiting ever but i'll try to use heaps and lollies. I need heaps of lollies after all the exams that i have to do. It's easier to get A's with the percentage lineup (it starts at 80%) but the teachers barely use that letter.

I love your pics . . . I tried leaving a comment (actually 2) but for some reason they didn't work.

well, gotta go study *heavy sigh*

Love ya lots and miss you tons!!
