Day 15: Christchurch, Saturday, 18th July

Well, today I was woken up at around 5 a.m. by someone in my family calling me on Skype. However, I didn't answer and they thankfully hung up. Then, I was woken up at 6 a.m. by Joshua...I did answer this time ;). We talked for a few hours, then I pretty much laid in bed and read the rest of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. It was a rough go of it at first, but once I got into it I really liked it. Dickens is a very long-winded writer, so that's hard to follow sometimes. But the story was a good one, and I can honestly say that I love it. There were hints throughout the tale that allowed you to guess, or figure out, some parts, but it was still really good even though I had an idea of what was to come.

Anyways, I also tried to move into my new flat or find out if I could, but I'll have to wait til Monday. I got back on and Skyped Joshua for another few hours, in which he found this page and became my only member/follower. So, since he's pretty much the only one reading this, there will be more shout outs to him from now on. So babe, you can no longer be mad at me for not mentioning you at all, besides the few times I talk to you.

After that, I met Amy at Coffee Culture at the Palms (a mall) and journaled and chatted with her. After the rugby game was over (which Joe was watching), we went back to their place and played Mario Kart on the Wii. It was extremely fun, although I did more horrible with the second round rather than the first, which was frustrating. But, I did place 2nd once, which was awesome since I've only played this game one other time against Diggle, whom I smoked. After that Amy basically went to bed, Joe did some internet errands, and I watched a New Zealand movie that I can't remember the title of anymore...something with "Indian" in it. I fell asleep through some of it, woke up in time to see the ending, and then headed to bed. Tomorrow consists of church and lunch, and who knows after that...G'night!
