Not all disillusionment is bad. It's an interesting though; complete collapse of vindication bringing clarity and happiness, allowing life to be seen through different glass.

It is pissing rain outside.

Trina is gone. I've met others through her that I am very glad to know.

I watched the rugby game last night with "Naked Pete", my roommate. Naked Pete is English with a very thick dialect. I gave him the "naked" title after finding him buck-naked in our dorm room, and it stuck. The game was at 0300, so we took a nap beforehand. To the dismay of the Scottish fans (who seemed to populate the bar), New Zealand butchered the Scots Wet car

 . I've never started drinking at 2 in the morning before. Afterwards I slept. Naked Pete did not.

I had to say good-bye to more people today. I am going to avoid making new friends until I move to Tauranga.

I picked up my car today. The not-so-mean, Seafoam green imported machine. Pastel colours should not be available a vehicle colours.

My first driving experience wasn't as terrible as I'd thought it would be. Shifting with my left hand is going to take some getting used to, but I'm already double clutching so its moving along pretty fast. Staying on the left side of the road has not been a problem, but I do get a sick feeling in my stomach when ever I turn at a set of lights because of it. Luckily pedestrians do not have the right-of-way here, so that is one less thing for me to worry about as a driver (although, as a pedestrian, my life has become that much more exciting).

I walked back from the parking lot in the pouring rain. I'm getting an umbrella.

My new boss called me today. I was planning on staying in a hostel in Tauranga but he has booked me in a hotel room. "Cool".
