Well I didn’t sleep last night, couldn’t get to sleep so spend time chatting with my mum. Todays a busy day as I been to back and fore first exploring the campus and next to get my student id done. After that margaux took me to my first bus trip to st lukes when I bought a list of necessaries that cost $51 which are vegetables( they are cheapest in nz), shampoo and conditions etc, toilet paper, tissure paper, garlic (it is more expensive than carrots here), seasoning, oil and some biscuit to last myself as the breakfast is either I prepare by self or dun eat. Have a beer with my apartment they are staing here for good and tml we going to the accomdation office to get m tickets of elecity back sadly to say I cant keep to my 250 target as the conession pass I need to buy for train and buses which I only have 20 just nice for the bus tour that I intend to take on. Today went through the pathway, its those forest ones with a creep flowing across and a mini waterfall in the campus. Campus is so huge, I lost my way while exploring alone as I was waiting for the insurance person to come to sign and since I was waiting for a friend that come for exchange, I need to wait for noon to come so went walking around the campus looking for breakfast. Found it but it turn lunch, bought the sushi at 7.80 for 8 pieces but didn’t ate much and throw away as my tongue ulcer is making eating a headache. Then cooked some soup which is corn and carrot without meat (dmn x k, and I just did another 20 top up today). 2 days and already 250 plus, dunno how I spending the rest of the month but then a no no is to buy food to eat. Tap water is drinkable. 2 more days till orientation day which I need to attend 2 of it. One for international and the next is for exchange students. They have a vet in school which allow the public to bring their dogs and if the dog is well behaved they are allow to go shopping with their owners too haha
