Good Morning New Zealand!

When traveling to the Southern Island of New Zealand, you discover that they do not believe in central heating, while at the same time it is a good 10 degrees C colder than in the North Island.

However, there is nothing better than curling up in your half frigid bed at night, only to wake up in a comfortably warm and toasty one.  Getting out of bed will be hard for me to do while here.  The first few nights I went to bed wearing a very warm sweater and sweatpants, but now that I have acclimated I wear nothing but a t-shirt and pajama bottoms.  Those first 5 min after waking up in a nice warm bed however are the best!  I did not want to move, but by 8am I finally forced myself out of it and into an equally warm and inviting shower, only to walk down the hallway to see this incredible sunrise.

It is forecast to rain today and so we do have some clouds, which makes me very excited to see what a cloudless sunrise might bring or a sunrise from the top of one of the surrounding hills.  In either case, seeing this made my day, which amounted so far to 3hrs of waiting in line to get courses approved, as well as another 45min waiting line to get my student ID.

It is official, I am a University of Otago student for the next 4+ months!
