OK this is my first thread ever! so go easy
I'm moving to New Zealand's biggest city next year, which is home to 31 percent of the NZs population! (for a 41 week course i sort of want to do) and it's freaking me out! for the first time ever i'll be living somewhere other then my lovely country home and i'll be thousands of dollars in debt and worst of all in the CITY in a tiny room that much resembles a jail cell! but unlike jail cell, i have to shop and cook for myself which is also rather worrying!
i'll know 2 people there and one of the is my younger brother (who is also going up at the same time). I wont want to fly home much either as i hate small planes :/
I'll miss my family including our animals! Our 2 cats, a dog, 4 Llamas, ducks, sheep, rabbit, gold fish, a donkey, love birds, chickens, 2 alpacas and something else i can't remember...
What can i tell myself to make this seem like a good idea or to make me worry less? and does anyone have any advice about city etc..?
To give you an idea how much of a change this is for me here are some pictures of where i live now,
