Today was supposed to by my anti-walking day, just chilling out with the 'Peg people (my Winnipeg friends) and seeing a few sites that were close by. But that really wasn't the case...
Well we ended up seeing the Art Gallery which was pretty sweet cause I've always loved art. However some of the stuff there i quite didn't understand, i guess i need the full story behind a work of art to truly appreaciate it. But that's just me.
After that me, Ruth, and Laura took the next hour or so do some hard-core shopping. However the only thing i bought was a pair of sunglasses cause my other ones were kinda falling apart. Ruth got a really sweet wig cause it had short hair and she wante to wear it home to surprise everyone. Laura tried to convince Ruth to actually cut her hair but when you have long hair like that it's hard to part with. But she got the cool wig! Speaking of haircuts, I'm thinking about getting mine cut again cause i miss my bangs, so I'm thinking about getting bangs that come all the way down to my eyes. if it looks horrible it's just hair, it'll grow back. That's my theory.
Speaking of theories...me and the Peg people were discussing weight gain when you go to bible school. Everyone they knew that went to bible school came back with more weight. I don't wanna get fat!! I have to burn off all the calories that i obtained within the last few weeks of my life in S'toon. So now I'm all paranoid about gaining weight. Hopefully i don't...
so back to my anti-walking story: after shopping for a bit, we heard a guy playing some blues music out on the street. So we listened to him for a bit, did some more shopping, and got our bus tickets to head out to Cambridge on Monday morning. Cause that's when we all start school. Then i headed home cause i just like being in general area of my hostel when it starts getting dark.
By that time it was 6:15ish and it wasn't really dark yet so i decided to trek up Mt. Eden. Yesterday i sorta did a trek however it was getting dark and i was in a residental area and i figured there's gotta be a path that you can climb up to get to the top of Mt.Eden. So today when i did find the right spot i kinda heard some live music. And we all know how much i LOVE live music. So i went and checked it out. There was a huge crowd gathered around a stage and i think they were playing Greek music cause i heard the word "Opa!" many times in the lyrics. Then I really started my trek up the hill.
Of course i didn't know where i was going but i just followed the pedestrian signs and the paths. I was able to make it near the top cause the summit was kinda fenced in and there were cows grazing (ya you read that right, cows). One of them even "mooed" at me after i took a picture of it. LoL! but i was able to get some other really sweet pictures of the view. You know how you can hold your thumb and forefinger out and say to someone "I'm squishing your head"? Well i was actually able to do that to SkyTower. i got a picture of it, so if you dont' understand i can just show you. I really need to find a computer that has the "Hello" program so that i can post pictures, cause i miss doing that. I ended up spending about an hour in the Mt.Eden area, then i headed back to my hostel. And now my feet are killing me!
Tomorrow I think the plans are gonig to Conor's church then maybe the beach. I'm definately looking forward to that one! So i guess I'll sign off for now, talk 2 ya l8er!
