I have a land line at: 011-64-4-802 1300 x. 70103.
I have a cell phone at: 011-64-210 795 178.

I love mail! Everyone already knows this, though. I don't have any money on my landline, so I can't call out yet, and it is 49 cents/minute on my cell, no matter which country I am calling. 20 cents/txt. Incoming is all free, though!

I am also registered for classes. I am taking Fundamentals of Geology (MWR 5-6), International Relations and New Zealand (MR 10-11), and Conflict Analysis (MR 11-12). Classes are called "papers" here, which is throwing me off a little. Three is full time, though, so I am set. I have plenty of time to focus on other acitivities!

I am venturing out on my own shortly. I have to purchase a hair dryer, hair spray, cotten balls, and Tylonel. I know vaguely where I am going, but as none of these things can be purchased at the bank or internet cafe, I don't exactly know. But, it is somewhere in the general vicinity of Cuba Street, so I can't get too lost!

Let's see, any initial impressions of New Zealand. I always think of them, but when I finally get to write them down, I forget. I figured out shortcuts to VUW today, so it will take about 7 mins to walk up that large hill. I practiced it today during orientation.

I am going to explore Wellington nightlife tonight. I met a lot of people at registration (mostly Americans, but what can I say, I was at the international registration), and as I am not jet lagged, I feel up to some exploration. I will be sure to update on that area.

Now, it is off to go help the NZ economy (aka, spend the money I brought here). Adios!
