The Winds of April

Over the past couple of weeks the weather has gone from great to okay to yea I guess to nearly horrible. Since Monday we have not had one sunny day. Might not sound so terrible, but this is the first week since last winter that it has been like this all week. The wind is the worst part. It blows your hair around. Makes you even colder. And makes doors harder to open. So not cool.

I was kind of looking forward to winter. It wasn't going to be so hot and at least once you got inside the temperature would be decent. That is not the case. It is freezing! At night it is freezing! Walking from your car to you office building in the morning is freezing! It is just plain freezing!

I just can't win.

Other than the wind that past couple of weeks have been pretty good. My good friend and I have started doing exercise after work. We have been walking and doing a mix between Pilate's and cardio. The walks are so great, it is flat for about 3 kms and then you go down and hill for about a kilometre and then walk up one of the steepest hills in the area. But in the end you feel great because you have actually completed it. I have done the walk before with another friend. But my good friend and I managed to do the walk on Monday and Wednesday night.

I have also been looking into University options. I love my job and really don't want to leave, but I might have to for a while. But it will be awesome going to University. I am looking into doing a Bachelor of Information Technology (Computer Science).

For Easter weekend I finally went up to Whangerei. A nice not to long drive it beautiful weather. I went up with my good friend, her boyfriend and one of his friends. We stayed with my good friends parents. It was loads of fun. On the first night (Saturday) we played poker. It lasted until 4.30am with us four girls - My good friend, her mother and I - left. We all ended on good hands. I had a straight, my good friends mother had 3 Ace's, however it couldn't beat my good friends flush. After that little sleep we got that night, we spent Easter Sunday playing Yahtzee and watching movies. The drive back on Monday was quite nice as well.

This evening I am attending a friends engagement party. I am looking forward to it.

So that sums up how my April has been. It is nearing its end and I hope the sun eventually tells the coulds to move out of her way.
