Got up mad early on Monday and Dane drove me to the airport, felt rather ill on the plane over, but all good once landed. Flying over NZ made me realise how big and barren it is, most of the land is mountainous and very inhabitable (at least it seemed that way). So, I landed, got a taxi to the uni and found I had accomodation which is nice. I'm in a corridor of 6, but theres no-one else here which sucks.
I then met my personal tutor and discussed my project (I got very confused), and had the rest of the day off to wander. Ended up wandering to a mall and got a phone which was a bit of a mission, but I guess I had nothing else to do! I then called Rosie (also here from Bath) and we met up and shes taken me under her wing which is lovely as I know no-one else here.
I got fairly bummed out on Monday and wondered what I was actually doing here, but after a crappy nights sleep I got over it. Tuesday came and I sorted out a load of uni stuff and began my project. Its on membranes and methanol and whey. Quite sadly I'm fairly interested in it now!
So, now Weds afternoon, have met Rosie and Rachel for lunch and bashed out 4 pages of intro. I'm off to get some food and then I think to the pub where Rosie is going to make me make friends :)
I'll leave with some pics of Auckland:
Don't worry about getting down on your first day there, when I got to america, I began to wonder what the fuck I was doing there. You'll be fine in a couple of days. Looks awesome there man
