I’m enjoying my long weekend – too much so, probably, as I haven’t been working on my assignments as I should. Yesterday I showed a German/Australian traveller who’d contacted me on Couchsurfing around Wellington, and in the evening I convinced him and my flatmate Jessica to go dancing at the San Francisco Bathhouse, one of [...]

Anna left this morning and took the ferry to the South Island. One of my flatmates is moving out this weekend, and tomorrow evening I’m having [...]
