Agnew Family

I got my rooming assignment for New Zealand. I'll be living with Haeree (pronounced like Eddie with an H in front). She's from Wyoming. We'll be living with the Agnew Family. They sent me a picture of them on a word document so I can't load it on. From the picture all I can tell you is that I'll be living with Neville and Joyce, two white grandparent-aged folks. It's not quite like living with the brown-skinned Kiwis I imagined but I'm praying that they'll have accents.

New Zealand or Buts....I mean Bust!


Behold the country of my inhabitance for the next four months.
Looking at the map (click on it to enlarge), we'll start in Auckland and slowly work our way down to Invercargill. We'll visit the Mormon temple in Hamilton. I'll go backpacking on Stewart Island which is probably as close to Antartica as I'll ever get.
I don't plan on posting on this blog for a while but I intend to diligently post on this blog once I'm down where toilets flush the other way. But yeah, that's where I'll be next semster. When the program is over I will be going to Australia and then Fiji and arrive home on the 25th. Don't hate me!
