I know it has been a while since I last posted but I felt so overwhelmed with all the changes that were happeing that I didn't know where to start! I have been home for 3 days now and it still hasn't kicked in that I am not in Auckland anymore.
I got home around 2:30am on saturday morning after our farewell drinks and began packing my car for the long trip home. Before you start posting hate comments about drink driving you probably should know that I was not the one who was going to be driving. I think I am a little bit more responsible then that! No, my uncle was driving. I was just going to be a passenger, so I thought what the hell - a couple of drinks wouldn't be too bad!
So when the time came for us to leave (which was around 5am)I was over emotional from the alcohol and the fact that I was leaving. I tried very hard to not cry but I did anyway and it was very sad. I hate that I had to leave, I really did enjoy my life there!
So off we went. It was pretty sweet for me to just relax in the backseat of my car as my uncle drove us (me and my cousin) down the line back home. We stopped in Taihape for a short break then again in Taupo for some breakfast. It is such a LONG trip, I hated having to drive down but only did so because I needed my car!! Everywhere I looked there was sheep, sheep and more sheep! There were some other farm animals but it was so boring I was counting the hours as they slowly went by ...
Finally at around 2:30pm we made it back home to Wellington safely. My legs were so cramped the first thing I wanted to do was have another drink! LOL so we unpacked the car and had some food, then dropped my uncle off at my other uncles place in ptown and got some more alcohol.
Had a few drinks with the cousins, watched some DVD's but I was so tired from not having enough sleep for the last couple of days that I nodded off early! Sunday was not any better as my mother woke me up early to re-arrange the house. We had to move beds from one room to another and then all over again so I could get my old room back. My cousin who is also staying with us had to have her room done as well. It took almost the whole morning! I was so tired by 1pm but was unable to sleep because I had to drive out to Porirua to drop one of my other cousins off home. By the time I got back I was knackered, too tired to even blog which is why it took so long for me to update this thing!
The next two days I had planned to clean up my room but because I was so tired I couldn't find the energy! So instead I relaxed and took my cousin from Auckland out shopping. There is not really much to do down here so I was struggling to find things to entertain him. But we managed to go to the mall (yes there is only one real mall here!!) before he left.
So now, I sit at home and wait for my new life in Wellington to start. My first day of my new job tomorrow - it should be fine as I know most of the people there, only by name though but it should be ok! Fingers crossed. Mary is already there and she has kept me updated with the goings on over there for the last two days. I am so glad that she is there with me, it will make the transition less stressful! LOL
So that's pretty much it for me right now. I know it's a lot of boring mumbo jumbo but once I am out and about in the world I am sure I will have more things to talk about! If not, then you'll all know how much of a hole Wellington is! LMAO!
