Snow and a NZ Performance

Well, it is winter in Dunedin.
Last Tuesday, it snowed.  Yup! It was Memorial Day at home and the first snow fall here.  Since much of Dunedin is hilly, most classes were cancelled because it is dangerous to walk or drive down the big hills.  It was a snow day in Dunners!

Even the washing got a taste of snow!

The snowy view from my street!

I have become accustomed to having cold fingers and toes and to wearing tons of layers.  Without central heating and with the cost of electricity so high, I have become best friends with a hottie... a hot water bottle, that is.  Sitting studying, my toes tend to get quite cold, so I sit with a big blanket wrapped around me and my hottie on my feet.  It works quite well if I do say so myself!

Last week, I got to dance.  On stage.  In New Zealand.  It was awesome.

The dance club I joined, Otago Dance Association put on a performance night.  I performed a solo to Billy Joel's River of Dreams, a piece I choreographed, and a hip-hop dance a friend choreographed.  It was so fun to dance and be able to show my flat mates and friends such a huge part of my life.  I always forget how much I love to perform until I get on the stage again and I am in a completely different world.

Thanks to Claire and Albert, my choreography has been performed internationally!

Only one month left in this gorgeous country! I can't believe how fast time is flying!
