Nancy and I were so successful with the bus today. We got the bus driver to drop us off closer to the church; it wasn't even at a bus stop and cut our walking time in half. Classes were a little weird. Dr. Jacobs didn't know what to do with us in assessment because we shower him that we already knew what he was going to teach us, so now he has to go back and plan the class all over again. I was told to stop talking in class today because I was giving too many comments and here wanted to hear from others too. It was pretty funny and not the first time I have been told to stop talking during class. Later when I wasn't talking because he told me not too he got down on his knees and was basically begging me to participate. It is nice that we both can be sarcastic and laugh about it. It is so nice to be here in New Zealand instead of in GA with six in of snow or in UT with feet of snow. I love having summer. I can't believe I only have 12 days of class left. It is so crazy that you can finish a semester this fast. I wish it was always like this with classes. I was on a high all day because I got to talk to Heidi, my aunt, my family and my grandparents. I love being able to stay connected with everyone even when I am on the other side of the world. I will have to work on telling the future since I am a day ahead of everyone. And for everyone that wanted to know the water in the toilets goes the same direction south of the equator. I check just for you Chelsea and Bishop Pennington. Nancy and I tried raw fish with our keish for dinner. Surprisingly enough I liked it. I guess the Maori eat raw fish all the time. I love being in New Zealand and experiencing so many new things in life. I know without a doubt it is where the Lord wants me to be and I will remember the experiences I have here forever.
