Lazy Friday

Fridays are so lazy for me. I go to the gym in the mornings between 9 and 11, and then I typically don't have any plans. It is always open. Today, it was filled with shopping. All of my jeans have worn through (in the same spot, too) so I had to go and buy new jeans. That was an experience, what with totally different brands and sizes. Expensive, too. And everyone knows that jean shopping can be a terrible experience. The saleslady was incredibly helpful, though, and we worked out the best fits. Whoohoo!

In other news, I went to the Tawa rotary club on Tuesday evening. I had been there before, but this time I gave my presentation. I feel like I need to work on it a little for my next presentation (Paraparaumu, Monday evening). When I get really excited about something, I tend to talk fast. (I know, I know, big surprise, right?) I love living in Wellington and exploring New Zealand, so if I don't check myself, I talk very quickly during my presentation. I have a feeling it is a bit of a whirlwind for my audience if I don't make an effort to speak slowly. Everyone at the Tawa club seemed to like it, though, and they invited me back, so it couldn't have been that bad. I really liked everyone at the Tawa club. They were very welcoming and easy to talk to. I would very much enjoy going back.

I don't have any schoolwork to do now. I had a test and a project due this past week, so now my schedule is pretty open. I have a geology field trip to the Wairarapa region tomorrow from 8:30 to 6:30. This means I need to leave a little after 8 and won't get home til 7. Long day! It should be a good trip, though. I haven't been to that region before, so I am excited to explore new areas. We are mapping a river that we are going to traverse, or something like that. I am sure you will hear about it eventually!
