I've been back for a little over a week now, and despite my initial hesistations about coming back, I'm glad I did. The weather here has been lovely, and that helps a tremendous amount. Not only in terms of my mood, but also the general feeling of the entire city...there's a summer feeling all over the place. I am relishing this relaxing, casual lifestyle because I know that I will not always have this luxury.
This past week was a four day work week, and I found it rather long. Work at Equestrian Sport is pretty mundane. While I like the people I work with, its a job that is not challenging at all, and that is starting to get to me. I look forward to finding something stimulating when I get back! For now, however, I will continue to find the silver lining and focus on the other great things in life. Outdoor soccer/football started again on Thursday. It was a great time, but really, really hot and sunny, so that was pretty hard. We had no subs, and we played a pretty good team, so it got frustrating at times. I managed to get thrown to the ground 3 times and wound up with a massive black and blue on my shin (the left one this time), but I like having these battle scars, it reminds me of the fun I had out there.
Last night I met up with some friends that I had made when I stayed in a hostel for the first two weeks. It was good to change things up and hang out with other foreigners who are here for the same reason. This morning I did some window shopping on Cuba St, Wellington's eccentric street and read in a new cafe that I found.
