Yeah for the weekend!

Well I am at my favorite local hangout---the library!! Yeah I am pretty much a nerd around here! My sister would be proud of me! This is the only place in town that has wireless and free computer access so it is a nice place to hang out. This was a much better week than last week. Last week I worked all week. Which isn't a stretch for most people, but I am used to working 3 or 4 days a week. One of the nights I started work at 8 am and then worked till 10 pm---with a short break in between. I can somewhat empathize with Henn---one of my co-workers back home! And then the next day I was back at work at 8 am. I am thankful for the extra money though. It will come in handy when I do some of my traveling.
Last weekend I finally made it to the coast---I saw the Pacific Coast from the other side! Pretty amazing. And it was actually warm enough to swim, but unfortunately I forgot to bring my togs---(bathing suit!). I even got to tour a sheep farm on a quad. It was definitely a NZ experience to be surrounded by lots of sheep and cattle. I even got to drive the quad a bit. Thankfully their weren't any trees nearby!
This weekend I am on call so I am forced to stick close to home. It has been raining all night long and all day so far so I am okay with staying home. I bought a new car this week from one of my co-workers. I had a rental car for a month from the hospital. Crazy to think I have been here over a month!
I think the summer is almost over---I am a bit sad about that. But have been told that autumn is very nice over here. Can't wait to do more tramping around the area!
