X-day

So it's sorted....

I just booked a flight for Christchurch to Nelson and then Nelson to Auckland.  All I've got left to do is to book a bus from Dunedin to Christchurch....

So that's it... my time with Dunedin is done.  Just like that.  I'm not going to say I'm leaving with no regrets or pulled back feelings with this place.  After all, I'm still jobless and it is rather unstable.

But who would have thought there would be a day that I'd be in the city of big smokes?  I thought it would be one of the last place I'd live.

I've talked to my mother yesterday after not contacting her since Christmas/New years.  My brain was completely on the auto-reply mode, her words going in from 1 ear and out the other. And all I wanted to do was to hang up the phone.  At least when I leave Dunedin, I can use the excuse of no internet to avoid awkward conversations.  I really don't understand what part of "I don't belong in Japan" she doesn't understand.

In a way, I don't really know whether knowing people in Auckland is helping me motivate myself to move up.  I'm sort of in in a jumbled up mood where I feel like going somewhere where I completely don't know anybody or just 1 good friend.

I don't know what is waiting for me in Auckland but I guess I'll find out sooner or later...
