Splashing In Puddles of Sand

Losing Sight

I really like the title of this blog, but unfortunately it has no insightful meaning...it's literal. I'm sitting in front of the computer and everything looks blurry. The same happened to me last time I was checking my emails and i thougth it was the computer. Guess not. my eyes are too used to eyeing up guys through a pair of aviator sunnies! hehehe.

Things here are good I have picked up a LOT compared to the last time I wrote. Thanks to everyone who helped me smile when I checked my email today :)

Today I went to see this place called craters of the moon and it was crazy, like all these holes iin teh ground with steam coming up from them. It was really Jurassic Park-like. Then I went to these waterfalls with an English guy and German girl. It was cool. He's trying to convince me to stay away for months, like a year or something...he is tempting me! hahha. He keeps asking me what ihave to go home to and I stop and think NOTHING! YOU ARE RIGHT! I WILL STAY!!!!! Only time will tell. I would LOVE to just say 'FUCK IT' and come May just throw away my return ticket, fly back to new zealand, and work here for a few months! Believe me I already WANT to say that now, but the fact that andy is coming in oz makes me want to go there and then make the trip back! Maybe I DONT even want to do my masters next year...just stay out here instead of staying here, going back to study, then coming back here agian. know what i mean? my parents will *KILL* me.

Tomorrow i'm going on a hike with this other girl..not just any old hike...a NINE HOUR hike :S The tongariro crossing....uh-oh. so if you never hear from me again then you guessed it, i am somewhere around hour 2 of the 9 hour trip. haha. and the next day...drumroll please...i am sky diving! ahh!!! I'm in lake taupo which is THE place to skydive in nz, so it has to be done. I am getting a little worried. I never thought I was scared of heights until we were standing on hundred foot sand dunes before we went sand boarding down them....I guess being on the edge of an airplane about to jump out will confirm or deny if i really am afraid....

As for my bank account....lets not talk about it. I dont even know how much i have spent...i just walk to the atm a lot. and i get out a lot of money. and then i walk back to it to get out a lot more...ah well, it will be ok. today i went to the supermarket to it might be peanut butter and jam sandwiches for a long long time. maybe i will switch to nutella for a while--I'll splurge! haha.

The English guy in my hostel is going to show the me the dvd of him skydiving today so that i can get prepared for it! ohh i am getting butterflies just thinking about it! Ok that's all I have to say....
