seriously now

Hey, guess what? Ben and I met up on Tuesday over a Fergburger (more on this later) and a great view over the lake and compared stories about our NZ adventures. I'm staying here in Queenstown to work while he's heading back to the great white north to pursue a professional snowboarding career.

I got a job in town here working for a hiking company organizing hiking groups or something like that. I haven't actually started yet so I'll be able to give you better details later but as of now it sounds extremely similar to what I do at camp in the summer. However, I hope it's more organized and less stressful, they aren't paying me enough for it to be. Finding a job took a day but finding a place to live has deemed to be as Wayne would say "exponentially" more difficult. I have a few leads but as of now I'm still stuck in a hostel. It blows.

After spending a small fortune on feeding my internet addiction I decided to but a computer in Canada and have it sent over. I know what you're thinking "Rob, you must be able to buy a computer there.". This is true, however they cost like double for the same thing. I'm all about comparing prices and finding the deals, and this was the best one.

Oh, yesterday I awoke to seeing fresh snow on the ground! I thought it was summer here. The ground I saw the snow on though was really high on the top of mountains but still. 13 degrees still isn't cutting it. I have to go buy a sweater

Someone just dropped an SLR on the concrete floor here in the internet cafe and it shattered... that sucks.
