Of Lambs and Possums

This blog update is coming a bit soon after the last one, but that's because I forgot to mention some stuff.
First off, at LAX I stared down this dude that seemed oddly familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. So instead I stared until my mind slowly sorted out that it was that black actor from Psych Dule Hill. I moved on after he gave me a look that implied "If you try to kill me, I have backup."
Other than that, I thought I would also give a bit of a run down on Kiwi vocabulary:
Lesson one: if you don't understand what a word means, try to think of words that start with the one uttered and see if that makes sense
uni= university
vege= vegetables
maky doodle (or something like that)=McDonald's
Lesson two: smile, nod, they probably don't understand how strange what they're saying it
on the piss=getting/ going to get drunk
pissy=drunk
tea=dinner
tally ho=seriously, they say this, its hilarious. sometimes they just say "ho" at the end of a phrase as a sign their making sure you understood what they said. "so you're going to see Margret ho?"
mean=awesome
gummies=gumboots=rainboots
have a root=have sex
dairy=deli
The lessons will continue, hold on to your socks for more.

Anyways, yesterday I went for a bit of a walk. My friend and I hadn't quite slept because a few of us were enjoying ourselves in my common room till bright and early. So we went around 6 30 and picked up another mate and took a bus to Sumner, a cute town on the shore right at the edge of a bit of a peninsula. From there we found a hike over to Taylors Mistake, an even smaller town where everyone surfs, and then took a hike out to Godley Head. On top of the head, there were bathrooms and I decided to use one. Walking in, though, I jumped back out. My first encounter with a possum! Ugly little things they are. It was curled up into a ball, looked like it was preparing to die. The rest of the walk was mostly over sheep pasture, which was actually pretty cool. It seemed to be lamb season because we saw so many little ones and, the real clue to that, is we saw one being born! It was amazing! I really can't believe I got to witness that. We wrapped up our walk around the peninsula when we got to Lyttleton, a coastal town directly across from Sumner, where we started. It was really warm on top of everything so it ended up being a really good day. I came home and I slept for 11 hours.

'Till next time.
