Bonding with the Livestock

The other day a few of us went into the fields of New Zealand and tried to catch a sheep to put a jersey on it. Who ever knew that sheep were such little racehorses! Never let appearances lie to you...that was my profound lesson of the day. We never did attain our goal...which means that we won't be getting treated to ice cream any time soon by one of the staff workers. Sad day. Ice cream and sweets come few and far between here where we live. We eat all organic food and are constantly hungry. It's pathetic. We're all dying 1/2 hour after we eat a big meal of vegetable soup. I'm so glad to be eating healthy and the food is delish, but I feel like I'm eating way more because I'm always so hungry! And civilization is a half-hour away, so there is no hope of buying food. The only time we're in Christchurch is on Saturday or Sunday. We all love being in the rainforest-type atmosphere with a ton of outdoor things to do, but at times I feel a little trapped because I have no car, no cell phone, no friends outside of my 15 friends here, and only monstrous hills to have to climb back up if I want to run or bike down to civilization ;) Oh the woes of Dana ;)
