Life in Auckland so far

I have a confession to make - I almost said "y'all" yesterday. A consequence of hanging out with mainly Americans for two days. I'm thinking of increasing the englishness so that I don't lose my accent but aside from drinking more tea and trying the old skool banter I can't think what to do (this is serious, I just thought the last few words in a southern American accent). Any suggestions?    

Its been great so far. The school starts on Sunday (so excited) so we've been exploring the city and using free Internet in coffee shops for the last couple of days.

We're staying in a hostel in central Auckland, which is cool cause we're in the centre but not so cool that we have two female toilets and one shower on our floor. I'm sharing a room with four other girls (three American and one Swiss). As we're in a hostel we have practically no storage space. I know what y'all (see, there it goes again) thinking: but Rach where you gonna put all the presents you're gonna buy me? Simple solution- if you give me £5 then I'll post it to you, if not, well what can I say? - you snooze you bro, that's how it works on street countdown. Get to know.

I love the city but it's really hilly and after two days I can say that it ties with New York for third greatest city in the world (1. Croy to-the den, 2. Lon to-the don).

I'm not sure what you wanna know, so either pass it on to family, email or comment.

I'm off to church now so I'll talk to y'all later (see what I mean?!)
