Is this thing on?

Is this thing on. I am in New Zealand trying to set up a blog. I came to NZ for life experience. You know something different then my daily life. I have now been here three weeks and I sure have gotten one. I have had the pleasure of living with two kiwi's in Hastings. The first weekend they took me to lake Taupo for some fishing and relaxing. Last weekend I went to Wellington for my first live rugby match. I also have the pleasure of student teaching in an NZ school while am here. I am working with 7 and 8 year olds that crack me up and love to make fun of my American accent. Anyways, there is much more to come I sure.
