More Deviations

Man, me being gone for so long really means you get a lot of updates.

I had a headache this evening, so I laid in bed for a while with my eye mask, and while my mind was resting, I kept remembering things I had wanted to talk about. Since my flatmate is taking a shower and I can't get ready for bed, I have time once more to talk about them.

I finally made it to my host counselor's house on Sunday night. It is so cute! It had a lot of German influence in the design. I liked that. It is on top of this big hill. You park at the bottom and have a bit of a trek up, but the view of the harbour at the top is spectacular. I got to wash my Fiji laundry in hot water, and Anna cooked a great dinner. I had cauliflower and LIKED it. I know, I know, amazing. I have even eaten fish now, too. Anyways, good food, good laundry, AND good bed. I got to sleep on a water bed that had heated water in it. AMAZING. Really, I haven't slept that well since arriving in Wellington. There was this super comfortable duvet and extra blanket, and I just slept like a baby. They drove me back in to town when they drove to work, and off I was to school! It was nice to sleep in a house again.

The other thing I wanted to mention about today was in my POLS 244 class. My professor tore all the ligaments in his knee not too long ago, so he has missed several classes because of it. Also, we have had to move speakers around as they change availability. The NZ health service had scheduled his hospital appointment to remove his stitches for during our class today, but he felt we couldn't fall any further behind in lesson plans. Rather than canceling class, he recorded himself at home giving the lecture and sent the tape in to class! We watched it on the big screen. I have never had a lecture like that, and it was rather interesting. A couple of times he had to stop the tape to answer the phone, etc. It was a bit odd to be taking notes from a video screen when it wasn't an actual video per say.

Anyways, that is all I wanted to say. I am exhausted and need to get some sleep now (I am still sick, so I am more tired than normal). I will do my best to get more Fiji business up tomorrow. I want to get it all up before I forget!
