I'm basically packed. Unpacked for break, repacked for New Zealand. All at once. I'm ready. I've been ready. Sunscreen, shorts, Chacos. The necessary ingredients to studying Children's Literature in The Land of the Kiwis (not the fruit, not the bird... well, the bird, but mainly the people. Native New Zealanders are called Kiwis).

It's an early afternoon flight, January 6th, and it's sixteen hours long. We (two female Professors, thirteen female classmates and me, the solo male) have a three or four hour stretch break, in Las Angeles, so that'll be nice(?). Maybe we can go explore the streets of LA and, I don't know, find a library or something class-y.

Ka kite ano!

**There's the PE New Zealand course and there's the Children's Literature one. There are two. I'm on Children's Literature.
