So The French Guy Finally Showed Up

Monday morning (yesterday), I had just finished with my shower and I was getting ready in my room when TOTALLY OUT OF THE BLUE Muhammad shows up. Okay, well, it wasn't totally out of the blue because DUH he is living here too... and also because Danielle (my Kiwihost) went to the UniFlats office about a week ago just make sure he hadn't died or anything. Anyway, they told Danielle that he would be back in New Zealand sometime around March 22th. I guess since yesterday was March 22th, Muhammad was right on time, NEAT. I don't really know the whole story, but I THINK he was in Paris for a month, no big deal. ALSO, it might be important to note that Muhammad is from Algeria, not France. Also, he wears cologne. That was the first thing I noticed about him. Other than that, he is just your average dude. Oh, and he's finishing up his masters in law slash he is supposed have his thesis finished by June. So yeah, cool stuff, that's Muhammad. On the random down side, I don't even know if that's how you spell his name... might be Mohummad or Mohammed?? Who knows... Basically, this dude is super mysterious.

Other than that... the weekend was pretty low-key. I was kinda sicky so it was really nice that I got to sleep-in in the mornings and wake up in my comfy bed. Got a lot of homework and readings done. Wrote a paper that is due Thursday (I know, I finished a paper a whole Five Days Before It Was Due! WHOOAAAA!! Go Me =]). Hung out with friends. Went to the flea market. Got a boy shirt at the thrift store. Went out to dinner with cool peoples. All in all, I think it was a nice balance of Relaxing/Getting Better and Being Productive.

Anyway, about other general stuff in life...

Food + New Zealand + Theresa =

1) I AM OFFICALLY OBSESSED WITH OATMEAL... I think it started about three weeks ago and it is DEFINITELY still going strong

2) It has been decided that... Nutella is good with everything (except with silly things like soup or roast beef)

3) Red Curry is my favorite curry

4) Peanut butter, honey, and banana sandwiches are SUPER tasty

5) I know how to make stir-fry

6) I can make tacos

7) I know how to marinate meat... for example, I marinated beef in soy sauce last week =]

8) When I go grocery shopping, I always buy apples... Why do I buy apples?? Well, because APPLES RULE... and I am always out of apples

9) I thoroughly enjoy eating ice cream on a cone... especially while in motion... mainly walking... it is indeed most excellent

Basically this is all super exciting because I am kinda sorta learning how to cook... slash cook different things... and because food is delicious.
