You can take Americans out of America, but you can't take the America out of Americans

Hello! I am missing everyone at home so much, I can't wait to get internet in our flat tomorrow so I can skype you guys!

Yesterday Andee and I were about to head to the gym for a step class, when a guy from our program texted us to come play pick up soccer in the rain. And it was soooo fun and muddy. Then I went back and cooked my first flat dinner...and it was good!! I'm so proud. Our final flatmate, Rachel from Canada, arrived last night and she seems really nice. Then I played some cards with the flatmates and then headed out to Captain Cook's Tavern to meet up with people from my program. Around 1 we decided that we were all hungry so we found a 24 hour McDonalds! First of all, it was sooo much slower than in America. Not exactly fast food! And inside was DISGUSTING. It was as if everyone thought it was a sitdown restaurant where you leave your dishes to be picked up because there were bags and wrappers everywhere. Also as we were leaving two girls sprinted out, one pushing a huge sign and one pushing a high chair they were stealing. Definitely a weird McD's experience.

Today is the first day in Dunedin without rain (yet anyway...it is on the forcast for later) and it's so nice to see blue skies!!!
