Holiday Overload

Today's gripe is one that will not get much sympathy from anyone, and yet I continue! :) I am having a holiday overload right now. I have been used to my little routine of class, work, soccer and homework, but now everything has been on holiday. It's been too rainy for soccer, we are on break from school and yesterday I had off for... (insert suspenseful music) the Queen's birthday! That's right, folks, New Zealand had the day off for the Queen's birthday. They are way too obsessed with royalty around here. So I had nothing to do yesterday at all. I know this sounds nice, but I literally had nothing to do yesterday. I read and napped and read some more. But this was Day One of real holiday time. Sad. What will my state of affairs be by Day Thirteen?

The one pleasant part of my holiday overload is that my parents just gave me a nice little monetary gift, which when paired with my next couple paychecks will cover a nice, modest trip to Fiji for my birthday!! Yeah, I'm not even pretending to be overwhelmed by the relaxation that I will get then. I'm ecstatic! So I will finally have some new pictures to put up on my pictures website. But since I will be tossing on a swimsuit in winter (remember that it really is winter here) and I need to save like I'm my brother (hahahahahaha) I will be trading in my ice cream cones for sit ups. Boo. There's always a down side, isn't there?
