LETS JUST TALK ABOUT YESTERDAY

Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. I realize I keep saying that ____ was the best day of my life but seriously, they keep stacking up. I am such a lucky person. What did I do you ask? Let me extrapolate.
Yesterday, I went backpacking-ish to Raglan. I consider this backpacking because I walked for well over 5 hours with a pack that contained some mediocre camping gear. Which really means some warm clothes, a 15 dollar sleeping bag I bought at a pawn shop, and some snacks.
Woke up at 7:00 a.m, after staying up til 1:30 at the BOCS party downtown, and headed to the bus stop. Drove to Raglan with some of the AustraLearn kids and arrive at about, well...I suppose 11. I tried my luck with surfing! I am pathetic and useless on a surf board, but it will not stop me from trying. I didnt actually stand up; I got on my knees though...uh....ignore your need to make a sexual pun. Its actually a really hard workout. And because I am completely unbalanced and ungraceful it was a bit of a challenge. I also have no upper body strength so I need to work on that one. Going back soon to try again.
Spent the day on the beach til' four when we got a ride back to town with a guy from Virginia. 7 people packed in a stationwagon with 4 huge packs. Great times. Got pissed when we got to a campsite that charges $15 a PERSON to sleep on the ground; said fuck it and went into town. Spent the next two or so hours, barefoot, downtown watching crazy gypsie chicks hoola-hoop dance with their hairy armpits. It was seriously awesome.
We thought we found a cheap campsite and started the hike to find it. See, our original plan was to sleep on the beach but we wanted to avoid the risk of getting a $200 fine and find a campsite. We hiked along the beach for a good hour, watching the sunset. Chris, Heidi, and I ended up leaving the group for a bit to try and find the mystery campsite on our own. Failed miserably, but we got to hike on the road, see some beautiful scenery and a beautiful sunset. Heidi and I figured that since our chances of finding the lost campsite would most likely end in a $200 no matter what we did; we thought it was in our best interest to jump a fence and chase after some good ol' New Zealand sheep. That was fun; midly scary. Sheep give some mean death stares.
After giving up on finding a $5 dollar campsite, we ended up crashing on the beach. Watched the sunset, for real this time. Ate snacks, and talked all night. I find it humorous that people pay for the sound of waves to help them sleep, and there I was. Sleeping out on the beach, listening to the waves crash and watching the stars. I'll say it again: magical.
In the morning we all woke up and watched the sunrise, packed our shit, and headed out. Because we are retarded, we didnt pay attention to the tide and had to walk back to town during high tide. All was well though, it was actually sort of fun.
The reason yesterday was so fun, was because not a single person we were with had ANY idea what we were doing. We all got the bright idea to go into Raglan and figure it out when we got there. It turned out pretty terribly in one sense, but in another it was completely perfect in every way possible. At least for me. I love not having a plan, walking on the open road, the beach, the whatever and just soaking in the scenery. You can't ever get that sensation while driving anywhere in your car.
So despite the fact that I am 80% sure I have third degree burns on my entire body, I am feeling fantastic!
