The Beginning of the End

Last night was the last time flat 9 would be a whole. Early this morning Phil left for his adventures around and I will not see him, peyton or Claire after the 29th when I leave. I know I'll see Sketch (Justine) and Jay because they live close to me, but it is just really sad to know we had our last outing together. So last night we had a rager and invited lots of people over to celebrate the fact that people are leaving, Phil, not flatmate, was turning 21 and Sketch had done the impossible - posted 200 facebook albums. 

At 7 I was picked up by Matt and we, along with some of his friends went to the Wellington Lions rugby game. It was a great game, but we lost 6-7 to Canterbury. Once we all arrived back at my flat the party was just getting started and it went on from there. We stayed in the flat until well after midnight and hit the clubs in town, which turned out to mostly be BOOGIE WONDERLAND! Phil loves that place so we danced along with the cougars and old men for hours. It was a late night, not getting back until  after 3, but SUCH a good time!

I am so terribly sad that I am leaving such a fun place in just 3 days. On the morning of the 30th I will fly out to Dunedin and spend Halloween with some friends. After that I will be wwoofing again with a different family down in the Catlins. It should be fun to travel to the southern most city, Invercargil, not to mention that the Catlins are a gorgeous rain forest. I will fly back to Wellington for one last day on the 8th of November, and Laurie will come over then too! We are travelling to Taupo which should be so much fun! I can not wait to go SKY DIVING! We have lots of things planned for that next week, and have had these plans since before I flew over in June, but I still can't believe that I have 3 weeks left in New Zealand.

It all seems so surreal.
