hey everyone. PC missed me and made a page for me on the official website. (okay, they probably just wanted to show off how many students they have abroad.) http://www.presby.edu/mypc/studyabroad/recknagel.html nothing too new info wise. I finished another lunchtime theatre project and am working on the next one. I just finished the Rosenburg Sisters as an actor. I know! I went over to the dark side but for the next show I'll hopefully be back in black as a techie. The next show is called Voyager 1 and is a first at Allen Hall Theatre. Basically the theatre will be given [View Full Entry]

Wow. The semester is over half way over. What have I been doing? Time flies too quickly. So mid semester break was a tun of fun. I knew I wanted to get out of the city. I ended up going tramping (NZ=camping). Yeah it was just like JOE (camping trip Lovett made me take) except cold! We drove from Dunedin through Arthur's Pass in the Southern Alps to Lake Brunier where we camped the night. Okay, I might just be plain paranoid but I was totally waiting for something to come out of the woods or lake and eat me alive. [View Full Entry]

If all is the world is a stage, I will be the one making the coffee. What I do not understand is I think I'm a pretty well educated person. Got a head on my shoulders but so far at almost every job I have worked I am asked to make coffee. New Zealand holds now exception. For between the dates of March 28- April 13th the city of Dunedin was taken over by artists of all sorts during the Dunedin Fringe Festival. Very much like the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, it was two weeks of art, music and of course for [View Full Entry]

Oh my sainted mother. How time flies. I am soooo sorry that I have not been keeping up with what's been going on. Wow. I can hardly believe I've been here for about a month. Okay some goal topics to talk about- classes, rugby, my great NZ road trip, the band. Classes- Okay so this is how classes work here. Back at PC one class is usually 3 hours (it meets for bout 3 hours each week). here hours are calculated as points. Points are made up of how many hours the class meets overall plus how many hours of work [View Full Entry]

Greetings and Salutations everyone!! Sorry it has taken me so long to get the word out on what I've been doing. Well, from the beginning. My flight from LAX to Auckland was delayed 8 hours. The original pilot got sick and the replacement pilot had already fullfilled his flying hours for that day and rules regulate that he have 8 hours of closed door time before he flew again. So 9:30 plane left LA at 2:10AM. The 13 hour flight wasn't that bad. The food was pretty good and every seat has a screen on the backside so everyone has their [View Full Entry]

Hokay. I think this is the last time I'll get to a computer with Internet for a while. I've been in LA for bout 2 days and it's been pretty cool. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to hang around Hollywood (I know! what a shame. and the Grammy's were last night too!) But I did have a blast at Manhattan Beach and ate at this amazing Italian resturant called Mama D's (highly recommend it) Anyway, just wanted to put out what will probably happen once I leave. When I get to Auckland, after battling my way past customs, I [View Full Entry]

Hiya everyone! This first blog is really just a test to see if it works. I'm not gone yet. I will be leaving at the crack of dawn tomorrow for LA. I would say I'm about 80% packed. I have everything out. It's just putting it in a suitcase for right now. So I will be using this blog to keep in touch with everyone back home. Instead of me sending a massive e-mail everyday, y'all can check it as often or little as you like. I'm going to try to keep it updated at least once a week. Right now [View Full Entry]
