New Years

I still haven't been up to much. I went for a test run the other day to see how long it would take me to run to work. About 17min apparently.

For new years I went downtown and went to a backpacker bar called the Beaver Bar. Met a couple of nice english people that having just been living and working in NZ and Australia for the past couple of years. He worked for Transfield in Wellington cutting trees away from Transpower lines so that was pretty funny. They have got 1 year work visas for Canada and are in the process of setting up a life in Vancouver as well. Just before the countdown the bar handed out champagnes to everyone which was a terrible idea (maybe it was actually my fault for drinking it but they should have known they shouldn't have given me one). Drunkeness came upon me like a ton of bricks and I got the hell out of the bar to get some air. After stumbling around the streets for a bit I realised that there was no more night for me and I needed to put myself to bed. It was pretty funny trying to figure out which way to go (I had never been downtown before) and I would probably be dead now if it weren't for trusty google maps on my shitty old phone. I got home to bed safely but totally forgot to say goodbye to the english people.

Unsurprisingly I spent new years day lying very low. Its pretty hilarious having my own place as I can just spend all day in my boxer shorts. I think living alone is going to be detrimental to my personal habits, I hope someone comes to visit soon!

Today is the last day of not having a job. I know I've said it before but it is amazing I haven't worked since April last year! I think I have utilised my time away from work pretty well. I have also definitely failed to pre-adjust my sleeping habits so getting up in the morning is gonna be awful for a few days. Lucky I only have to work 2 days this week and then get a weekend! Tonight I will cook nachos for dinner which is gonna be awesome.
