i made it to new zealand: so i arrived in auckland and got driven 2 hours into hamilton. it was very pretty and the stars were unbelievable. i slept like shit on the planes that i rode for 16 hours, but i sleep like a baby in cars so i did that a little bit. he dropped me off at my place at 3 in the morning. he quickly tried to call them, but no one answered so we grabbed my bags out from the back and he left. the door was locked and no one was there. i thought i was going to have to just sleep on the front step, but i wondered around the complex and found some chinese kids who i couldnt understand watching soccer. they let me into this lounge area and we watched soccer. i was dead tired and i was unsure of whether or not i could just pass out there so i waited for them to finish their game. afterwards i still felt a bit weird about sleeping and it was already getting light out so i watched a bit of exit wounds with stevie segal and after it started to melt my brain i changed it to TCM (turner classic movies for the layman) and eventually passed out on accident. no one caught me and i woke up around 8 am. i had an orientation at school at 10 and i had no idea where it was from my place. also i had all my shit sitting there with me and i couldnt carry it with me. the office at the place did not open until 10:30. everything was shitting on me, but i found this nice lady who cleans up at my place and we worked out a place to hide all my crap while i went to try and find the school and convert some money. so i left and asked this guy at a gas station.
