Wait, who?

I realized I'm going to mention people a lot, and that you probably have no idea who they are. So here it is: The cast of characters.

My flatmates (all Americans):

Rachael – my best friend here. We are awkward together. We roomed together in Rotorua and also here in Auckland totally by chance – good thing we like each other!

Cassie – our flat’s party girl, but not over the top or anything.

Alyse – the mom of our flat (not literally, but she’s much more responsible than the rest of us)

Laura – the little sister of our flat – very fun, very hyper

 

Alex - at Waikato. Very, very talkative.

Charlie - at Waikato. Laid back and smart, very chill and will take on anything.

Pree - smart, fun girl from AustraLearn. Is very proactive; organizing trips, etc.

Kevin – shy guy from AustraLearn. Actually met him by continually “taking the mickey” out of him (being mean). Very smart and intuitive.

Paurakh – my brother from a different mother. From Nepal, but goes to uni in the states. Hyper, unstoppable, impossible to understand at times. I’m always the one hesitating, he’s always saying “Come on” (with a Nepal accent). So sue me if I want to think things through!

The big 10 – 10 kids from AustraLearn who banded together at the start – Chris (Alpha), Amanda, Eric, Lorissa, Kevin, Justine, Pam, Pree, Rachael and I. Chris, Eric and Justine have the strongest personalities and are often in the lead. Definitively not all the kids from AustraLearn.

Tommy -  Another kid from AustaLearn who is here with his girlfriend. Randomly run into him a lot.

Liam/ Jennifer – the first Kiwi I ever met, and what a first impression! Liam is very sarcastic, very dry humor. Doesn’t talk much, but when he does, it’s funny. At a party, we were going around the circle introducing ourselves to new-comers, and to be smart, he said his name was Jennifer. I refuse to let him live it down. In return, he has christened me “Bruce.”

Dani and Aylssa – Pree’s suitemates. Both very fun people. Often host cards-and-drinks parties, which are often broken up by security.

There. That should help with the stories.
