Auckland: 3:26 PM; Boston 11:26 PM (Monday)
Things are better on the personal front, I think. More or less I felt that I had to get over myself and realize, I chose to come down here for four months, and that I was warned about the issues that would come up.
So anyway (yeah I hate thinking about depressing things, who doesn't?)...surprise. It's raining. Again. (I was warned about that also). I'm procrastinating on going home, even though I should soon - I have a lot of reading to do, and I'm working under the assumption that poker will be happening again this evening. Even though I finished in the middle of the pack, it was because of two really bad beats, so it's not like I'm inept or something (right?).
Starting to get concerned with one of my classes, and if it will actually count for something. No one at NU has gotten back to me yet - and the add/drop deadline is Friday. Given my luck with that school and the way they usually are anyway, I'll probably find out on Monday or something that it counts for nothing. Or worse, it will count for a class that I already took. Which will, bluntly, fuck me over. It will mean that I will return to the US 4 credit hours (1 class) short of completing my undergrad degree. I've heard the nightmare stories before, so I suppose I should just say my fingers, toes, and anything else that can be, are crossed.
So other things that are taking some adjusting - the internet is slow as molasses. For example, just bought a song on iTunes, and what would take say 5 to 10 seconds at home, just took about 5 minutes. Haha...at least I won't be spending lots of money on songs this term. At least I have internet, I'd go insane without it. Maybe when we install the net at the flat - probably by the end of the week - it'll be faster. We'll see. I might try putting my US sim card in tonight and seeing if I can get broadband access like I do in the states.
I think I hit a personal low on dietary habits - my lunch consisted of salt + vinegar chips and a candy bar. The latter I haven't had in probably 5 months, and such a combination probably not since high school...oh well. Will have to work on that.
I'm bored now, so I'm out...peace

I dunno man, all those cookies you've been sneaking in over the years, I'm sure you've had some kind of combo there.
one or the other, but not both. I'm doing better now I actually went to the supermarket.
