I love New Zealand. Before I came, I had this image in my mind that everyday was going to be sunny and warm. Well, this image has proved to be a false imagination, but even through all the rain and “cold,” I still love New Zealand. The day started off super rainy and windy. So rainy that we rode the bus instead of walking to school. And so windy that there were a few times during class when the building sounded like it was going to collapse. Crazyy!
Just waiting in the rain and crazy wind for JJ to open the gate to let us in to school!
Luckily, the clouds cleared and the sun came out in time for our big group picnic. It was supposed to be last week, but we got rained out. It was rescheduled for today, but when it was still raining this morning, Dr. Jacobs relocated the picnic to the Lord’s house. That meant that Anna and I came home from school today and got to clean the house! Vacuum, scrub the sinks, clean the bathroom and our room, wipe down the counters and the table, etc.—all very exciting. ;) But, it was all worth it because the big potluck dinner was a big success. There was TONS of food—sausage, chicken, pizza, curry, sushi, rolls, salads, pavlova and more. Quite a random group of foods, but delicious nonetheless. We spent the evening talking and getting to know the families better, and it was all quite enjoyable. Lots of laughing and lots of fun :) Oh, and one of my favorite parts of the night was learning that they call coolers, "chilly bins." Isn't that great? Instead of saying, the drinks are in the coolers, they say, "The drink are in the chilly bins." haha love it!
Now, I’m off to lots of homework. It’s the most we’ve had so far and I’d better get started…
