hello

friday:

- yesterday was the wellington university open day. i was out of bed at 4.40am, at school by 20 to 6, and in wellington by around 8.30. it was a great day. i spent most of it completely alone, wandering the university, talking to students and representatives of subjects, picking up pamphlets and, lastly, taking a tour of one of the hostels (weir house, the best, most sought after of all).

- i also went to two subject information sessions; one for history/philosophy, one for classical studies. the speakers were very enthusiastic and it made me feel like i could leave home now and just get into it, because it sounds wonderful.

saturday/today:

- today nadia and i took a trip into palmerston north to see a movie and do some shopping. it was a great day. i hadn't been to a movie in ages dues to plans falling through and because of an annoyingly generalish lack of interest. thankfully, nadia appreciates the cinemas as much as i do.

- we arrived at 12amish and booked tickets for the karate kid screening at 1.45, then spent a little while looking around the plaza. we went to valleygirl, where we bought identical top things for $10. i also bought a singlet for another $10. everything there is very cheap.

- also bought atonement, a novel by ian mcewan.

- the karate kid was epic. it was funny, but also sad (i teared up a little... alright, fine, i had tears full out running down my cheeks. jackie chan's reminiscing scene was seriously ). i want to see it again.

- after this we went to the new ice cream place in downtown, where i had a kiddie cone of feijoa ice cream. it was delicious.

so that was my day.

i am forgoing caps in this post because i feel very calm at the moment and i think that the lack of caps emphasises this.

i hope you all have a lovely sunday, see you guys on monday (first day back at school! yeah!) xx
