Fairlie, Lake Tekapo and Castle Hill

so the second week of holidays was busy. and now that i had my first week back at school i wish i was back in fairlie.

okay, first things first:
Fairlie: wonderful place. we were out on the country, with a big field AND mountains as view. the house was really nice and even though we were quite a lot of people it was just right. me and my hostmum sat outside for an hour and a bit in our sleeping bags to see the blood moon. it was extremely awesome.
we made a trip to lake tekapo (WOW the colours in that lake) and had wonderful evenings with a lot of laughter.
Castle Hill: big rocks. lots of 'em. and it was hot. we also went to lake pearson that day and had a picknik. i will add pictures once my camera decides to give them up :)

I am awful at this regular posting thing...

Oh well...
So yesterday instead of school me and other international students went for a daytrip to Lyttelton and it was pretty cool. here's some pictures. (also next weekend i will be in dunedin and will take more pictures. maybe one day i will be able to run this thing regularily)

First three weeks! Woohoo!

sooooo...
since I didn't write anything since my flight, here another update post:

I arrived in New Zealand on the 18th of July, a Friday. My host family picked me up from the airport, I felt a bit awkward. But when we arrived at their home - my home now - I felt myself relax. I was tired and my back was sore, but I still was happy. Now I can say that I am incredibly happy with my host family. They are super nice and loving. We joke and laugh a lot and so far it has been great fun.

School... Well. The first day of school me and five other international sutdents had orientation. They were two french students, one from Italy, one from Spain and another one from Germany. We got a tour around the school and chose our subjects. The next day we got our time tables and were brought into our first class. I felt incredibly nervous. But later on the tension fell off. I get along well with the other international students and I think I am on my way to making friends with a few kiwi students. I am starting to feel the familiar 'ugh school' feeling, but yeah. That was expected.
This week we have a japanese student living with us as well. She is really lovely.

Okayyyy... I think from now on I will post regularily. Every weekend a summary of the week that passed.
See ya!

Update thingy?

Okay, so I'll be flying this sunday, the 13th of July, and arrive in New Zealand on the 18th due to a five hour stay in Singapour and a three day stay in Sydney. My first day of school will be on the 21th of July.
So far I've skyped two times with my host family and I really like them. After a few good laughs I was told that I'll fit in perfectly with them and yeah, I kinda am less worried.
My biggest worry right now is the whole flying situation, since this is my secodn time flying and the first time I actually only flew for about an hour or so. Yeah, nothgin against two days with three different countries as stops. Oh god this is making me anxious as hell.
But yeah. Just wanted to update you on the current situation and stuff.

um... hi?

So yeah. Hey. I'm Luna and in about eight weeks I will be flying to New Zealand for 18 months to archive my NCEA. I am from Germany and kinda new to the whole blogger thing. But I decided to do it anyways. I hopefully will also be doing vlogs on a youtube channel.
So hi, right now this will be all a bit empty and stuff, but once I'm in New Zealand... Well, we'll see :)
