This Starbucks has been my home away from home the past few days as I have been getting things together for my law school applications.
I'm hoping to have all of my applications finished by the end of this weekend so I don't have to worry about them anymore. My hostel is conveniently located at the foot of a dormant volcano called Mt. Eden. Don't worry Mom, the last time it blew up was 15,000 years ago. It's not a very tall volcano, and it only takes about 15 minutes to reach the summit by foot. Before dinner tonight I walked to the top where you can actually go down into the basin of the volcano. You also get a spectacular view of downtown Auckland and the surrounding suburbs from the top. The first photo is from the internet, the big crater is where I was today.

| I think the space needle is a big reason why people compare Auckland to Seattle |
