I Never Even Wrote About My Summer

Hi Blog,

I'm back, and this time I have a topic of interest.

I have been thinking lately that there are a bunch of things I would like to write about in this blog, but to be honest, I probably wouldn't. For fear of offending someone or turning people against me. I've been watching too much Gossip Girl. I start to pretend that Dunedin is like the Upper East Side, which of course it isn't.

But anyway, I only just realised that I never even wrote about what my summer was like.
I have done it every year since creating this blog so I figured it was only right that I do it for the summer just been.

I realise it is March and that's a bit late to be recounting this information to you, but its better late than never, right?!

I tried finding a photo of me during summertime but there pretty much aren't any. This is probably because my friend Huei who is always taking photos of social events was not in Dunedin over summer.
So be it. Here is a photo that was taken at the very END of summer, during a band practice before church.

Its hard to remember what I did this summer, it went by quite fast, which is not usually the case.

As I have mentioned in previous entries, I did not go home to Kaitaia for very long at all. Most of my summer was spent in Dunedin and it was A-MA-ZING! The best summer I've ever had!!!!!

I had a ton of friends around, there was always something to do, I was working at the Holiday Programme which was super fun, and all round I was reasonably busy. I don't know why I never stayed in Dunedin before. I wish I had!

I could have saved myself a lot of trouble.

For a while I ran poker nights every friday night with some friends, and they were so hilariously funny. We would talk about the strangest things, but it was always a good laugh. I won a few times too. You could put it down to sheer luck. The first few weeks I wasn't even playing poker correctly, I later realised. I never folded when I had a bad hand, because I had hope that something good would turn up eventually.
That is not how you play.

Guess that says something about my outlook on life though.


I recorded my EP this summer, as I have already written about, and now I am playing gigs around Dunedin. All in all, I have had so much FUN! It was actually really sad for me when all the students turned up one saturday afternoon and I knew that summer was over.
I had really enjoyed it. Things are so much easier during summertime. I got to play guitar and sing at church because all the other acoustic guitarists and singers weren't in town, and because there were less people, you got to know those that had stayed behind better.


But that's all over now. And that's ok, because that's life.
I am glad to be slowly catching up with all the friends that I haven't seen in three or so months.

My overall point to this blog: DUNEDIN IN THE SUMMER IS AWESOME!
And you can bet that next summer I will still be here, because Dunedin is the place to be. :)





Stay sweet x
