Miss you heaps NZ!!!

New Zealand was amazing. Definitely one of the best choices I have made in my life. I’m home now and have pulled off a great surprise with some even greater reactions from some of the people that have always meant the most to me in my life and always will! The last few weeks in NZ were great met some more awesome people went on a great fishing trip, swam with dolphins and even jumped out of a plane! Life is good!

Here I am now at some god awful time in the morning wide awake… must be morning in NZ or something I think I’m still feeling the effects of jet leg and really wish I could sleep right now! Reality is setting in and I’m starting to realize I really need to figure out what I’m going to do with my life. I know a lot of people say I’m young and there is no fun in that… But you know what that’s not me and who I am. I know that I want to do certain things with my life and feeling like I have made a great effort to be the best I can be is part of that. I’ve got this far in my life with relatively little effort. I think it’s time for me to get serious though. What am I really going to do with my life???

I remember when I was taking Marketing in Niagara I always joked that I would become an educated bum. But right now at this crazy time in the morning I am starting to believe that this may be truer then I knew. My thoughts tonight keep taking me towards law school… is this a possibility? I’ve always know I have what it takes to do whatever I really want, and often said that if it wasn’t for the guts and blood I would be a doctor. For some reason lawyer just seems to have escaped in the past from my ideas. But why? It fits with everything that I’ve wanted from a career. Well at least as much as I know about it, it does any way. I have never really looked to seriously at it. I’ve got to pick something to get serious about. Is law going to be me? My future? Is it something that I could get serious about and make a career out of? I’m thinking of specializing in real estate law or something related. I guess will have to see what the future brings. I’m still going to need to find something to take me though the summer!

Looks like a great day to jump out of a plane…..

A few things have happened since I left you all last. I’m currently writing this in National Park while I wait for my bus to Auckland. I got on intercity to Dunedin on the 10^th of April. Got on Stray on the 12^th and headed up towards Welly. Stops on the way include a night at Mt. Cook the highest mountain in New Zealand. A night at Rangitata (as stray no longer stops in Christchurch), and a night in Kaikoura which I think was my favorite stop. A few of the girls off the bus and I went fishing and had a great time, Sea Perch, Sharks and Crayfish (Rock lobster… ummm yummy!!!) The next morning I also did the dolphin swim where we were with a few hundred dolphins in the water it was pretty amazing!!  From there we arrive in Welly. I spent two more nights there and have decided that Queenstown was definitely the place for me… wwwaaayyy to many people in Welly, it also had that city smell and its simply just not as pretty!  Everyone off the bus took off and headed up to Aucks on the 18^th. I was on my own. Which one mission left to complete in New Zealand!

                I’ve now learnt the hard way it’s a VERY hard thing to do to book yourself on a bus to stay at a hostel that you don’t know anyone at and know that you are only doing all this in preparation to chuck yourself out of a plane in the very near future. It’s really not a natural thing for your brain to deal with…. the jumping out of a perfectly good plan part especially.  But it was great and I did it! There is a video I’m sure you will all see to prove it as well! Photos can also be found on facebook!

                So now what? Whats next? Well I’m sure by the time you all read this blog you will know what the next move was. So I’ve written this on the 20^th of April… but I’m not posting it till today! So glad to be home! I’ve missed you all loads and can’t wait for the near future good times to begin!

Ps…. Those in NZ still reading this… You are all AMAZING people and I’m so lucky to have met any single one of you let alone get the option of meeting so many of you absolutely amazing people! I hope that I get the opportunity to cross your path again! Live your lives and enjoy every moment! Thanks so much for all the good times!! You all rock!!
