So I'm still in Taupo. And I will still be in Taupo for a little while longer yet. I'm currently doing a farm stay at a kennel a few miles out of town, at the Taupo Pet Lodge. I help out in the kennels in the morning and afternoon and I do odd jobs around the house. I'm really enjoying myself here. I feed the chickens (chooks) and help Lexie, the 6 1/2 year old daughter, with her pony. Steve and Sharon are really nice, and really generous, and I get to play with other people's dogs and cats (though there are way too many people with big dumb dogs--mostly labs and weimaraners--who don't teach them any manners, not to mention all the bratty little fox terriers), so life's pretty good!
I don't have much else to say. I've been looking into library schools and preparing applications for when I get back, but that's been at a snail's pace because I am kind of lazy. I've also been trying to convince Weston to come visit me, but I don't think he thinks this is as cool an idea as I do.

Farewell we call to hearth and hall! Though wind may blow and rain may fall, We must away, ere break of day Far over wood and mountain tall.
