Yesterday, late afternoon, as I was walking towards my apartment in Anzac Avenue, a sudden attack of homesickness cum depression bit me. When I entered my room, I felt like crying and once I was in front of the computer talking to my bestfriend, my tears began to fall and I was crying my heart out. My friend did her best to amuse me of stories back home, on updates regarding "telenovelas" I no longer been able to watch and of the never-ending increase in the price of oil and commodities in my country and how lucky I am not be there at these desperate times. Am really lucky to have a bestfriend. An hour later, my sister and I talked via Skype and I related to her how I was doing in Auckland. We talked for almost an hour and that conversation helped a lot.
It's morning here once again. I hurriedly took my breakfast (tea and a muffin) and went out to find the Arts Graduat Lab. It's my first time to try out the access card. I got lost in the beginning but immediately found my way into it. Now, I know another place to go if I want some quiet space and access to the computers. It's great to be in the Main Library but there you have to be lucky to find a vacant computer. Nevertheless, it has all the resources that I need so it's still a necessity to be there to get my books.
So, I say to myself for today, "Good luck and enjoy it!"
