To answer questions: I'm great, and, Yes, I have run into Ben, and I went into town today with him so that he can have a cell phone (which he now does) so that I can run into him whenever I want to.
Back in High School, Mrs. Vaughn had a little theory; each one of us has a name cup, and we can only retain a finite number of names before it overflows. Well, my cup overfloweth. I've met somewhere between 8 and 80 people, and I have retained approximately 4 of their names. It's awesome. About the layout of the campus: it's relatively small. I can walk from my dorm (which is a little way off-campus) to the opposite end of Massey in under ten minutes. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your view of things) the campus is a healthy distance away from town, so to get to town, you have to take one of their free busses. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Unless you try to go to town on a Sunday, the day I arrived.
The country of New Zealand becomes Itallian on Sundays.
For those of you who don't know what that means, it means that the county flips its respective on/off switch, and shuts down. After about 4:00 in the evening there is absolutely nothing to do. Bars shut down, Busses stop running, and a miniture apocalypse dots the landscape. It's like some creepy modern day terminator without the genocidal machienes.
Here's your picture of the day:
It's the main street of campus before the flocks of Kiwis arrive.

The bars do not shut down on Sunday. Blashpemy!
...And of course, Ben WOULD know... So, do the flocks of Kiwis fly in themselves, or are they delivered by truck? :D Yes, I put in an emoticon. Deal with it English major boy.
