  Just got home from seeing "Troy". I cried. There is a girl staying with us from America that is a friend of a friend's. She is backpacking around New Zealand. Today we went and saw some stuff. It was fun. It was nice to know this place a little, even if no matter how well I know it, or how much I feel like it's home...I will always stand out because of my accent. That's ok. It is getting really cold. The office is now cold all day long instead of just in the mornings. I have to huddle by my heater. The days of central heating...how I took it all for granted...
