I'm off any second now (should've gone six minutes ago according to my internal deadline but I added an hour onto that to make room for me doing exactly this) to check out of my hostel, head to the train station and go about catching my NZ flight. This is me about to navigate an airport totally by myself for the first time ever. Hm.

On the plus side I am packed and ready to go pretty much on time. Hurrah! On the down side, the cold I caught at the weekend (which by the way? I got soaked to the point of dripping in Sydney and walked twenty minutes to find a Starbucks, was extremely sleep deprived for about a week, then hit Queensland's ridiculously warm climate after being cold and damp in Sydney, then ran around excitedly for two entire days... there are reasons why, other than the fact I have never been to Mexico and Australia so far seems free of pig-related illnesses, that it's not swine flu) is flailing its germful little arms in a last attempt to make me cough. I suspect sitting on a plane full of people and coughing right now is an excellent way to get myself quarantined. Hm. Maybe I should pick up some more cough sweets.

I'm pretty sure falln left yesterday convinced I was riddled with swine disease. Sorry falln! I had fun despite the coughing. :D Inmate meetups ftw!

And now I really have to go. Hopefully the next time I post will be tonight from Auckland. Fingers crossed.

So I reached my hostel in Auckland, where I'm now sitting on the squishy sofas in the lounge and feeling suddenly too tired to actually move, which is bad considering I haven't had dinner yet but... eh. I literally don't want to get up off the couch, though I'll have to in about ten minutes to find a plug socket for my laptop. I shouldn't even be this tired because it's two hours later here than Australia time! Hmpf.

Okay, I just discovered that the Good News Week website does actually play the episodes for me even in New Zealand. Plus this is the first hostel I've been in that actually serves coffee. And tea.

I'm probably going to skip dinner and just sit here. Assuming I can find a plug socket.

...Found a socket. Have unlimited internet for twenty-four hours. Yeah, I'll be here for a while. Even though the GNW site is being odd and totally happy to play certain episodes but not others. DISAPPROVAL.

ANYWAY. ( cut for length, rambling about my day of travelling and my hostel here in Auckland )

Going to go watch Good News Week now. What a surprise! :)
