New Zealand Adventures

I went to the gym yesterday. Ok, everybody start breathing again. I know, I'm not big on the whole working out concept for those that know me well, but since I've been here I have a new energy to be adventurous and to do so you must be in shape. I ran into Van when I was walking in. He's this totally cool guy from Alaska that's been here almost a year. Anyway, he convinced me to try yoga with him. Tyler and Kevin were there along with seems like half the university. I think it's kinda weird. All you do is crouch down and put your hands together like you prayed when you were five and breath in, breath out- release the bad, harness the good. Then you sit in all these weird positions. I couldn't help but smile the whole time and wanted to laugh most of it. Everyone's so serious, I'm not really sure how. Maybe God just didn't make me for yoga, who knows.

I'm buying climbing shoes tomorrow, I'm excited. In order to climb at the university gym and over the weekends you need shoes, so I'm kinda limited unless I buy them. I really had fun over the weekend, so I know it will be something I'll do for a long time (hopefully!). I'm spending the weekend on a farm with some friends. Andre's gonna (as we say in the south) teach me how to not only shear a sheep but also ride one. Apparently you can ride the big ones but we'll see. We're camping and such, so it'll be a lot of fun, I hope. Alright, I'm being beckoned, we're going out! Love to all of ya'll at home.
