My Final Weeks

My last week at work, the week after Horse of the Year, went very quickly thanks to having a lot to do each night (kinda stinks to be getting so popular right at the end, haha!). Monday night I went out to dinner with some of my flat mates and their workmates. Tuesday night was 'Girls' Night' (which was really nice for me b/c my life here is always 'guys' night), which consisted of dinner at Daawat (a fabulous Indian place) and then watching P.S. I Love You. From 7 minutes into the movie all 4 of us were bawling the entire length of the movie. Even the next day I felt extremely emotionally drained. I absolutely loved it, and Jess and I could not stop talking about it, even into that weekend, so we decided to see it again the next week!

Thursday, during the day, my workmates had an afternoon tea for me and they all gave me an awesome shirt and sweatshirt. After work some of us stayed to have a couple of drinks. It was really nice what they did for me, and I am going to miss them. Although, I will not miss the actual job. I learned a lot about the world of horses, and running non-profits, but not using my brain really got to me, and I cannot wait to feel more useful. Friday night I went out into town with my flatmates for a couple of drinks. Saturday was a beautiful day which I spent reading outside on our lovely deck. Saturday night was another "Girls' Night," this time we went to Jess' flat (up the street). It was with 3 other American girls, and I really enjoyed drinking wine with them and talking about things, like what we miss back home, what we love here, and laughing at the funny way Kiwi's say things (like Nissan).

Monday, Emily arrived! Next post for that...
