After getting back from my tour, the only thing I can really remember is cramming for exams, which I think went pretty well.  The next four days I spent packing and wandering around Christchurch getting in some final souvenir shopping and checking out some places I hadn’t been yet.  It wasn’t too exciting.  Honestly, I [...]

Day 5 continued….
I believe I left off right before I did the ledge swing.  It was fun, but not nearly as thrilling as the bungy jump.  So that night was a free night.  We went out for some Thai food and I got to bed relatively early.
Day 6: Off the Franz Josef.  We got into [...]

So I’m on day 5 of my New Zealand tour and I’ve been having a blast!! Here’s what I’ve done so far!
Day 1: Tuesday morning we departed from Christchurch.  It was a 4-6 hour drive to Lake Ohau.  Don’t really remember.  Spent a lot of time on the bus getting to know everyone.  The people [...]

After spending the previous weekend working hard on my Art History paper, FINALLY, something exciting happened! On Thursday afternoon, I went to pick up Leslie from the bus she took from Wanaka to Christchurch.  It was super strange to see her in New Zealand.  But super exciting! She had been on the bus for 8 [...]

This next entry is coming a lot sooner then I thought it would.
Thursday morning, instead of having my regularly scheduled Indigenous Language class, we took a trip to visit a Kura Kaupapa a.k.a. a Maori school.  There were only six of us from the class that went, and I’m the only non-Kiwi so I was [...]

Wow! I have tons to write about my spring break, so bear with me, this is going to be a long one!!
Last Thursday, I flew out of Christchurch to Brisbane, Australia! The flight went well, though I was upset I forgot to ask for a window seat. Oh well. Got into Brisbane at about [...]

I can’t believe it! Where has the time gone?!?! Been a little while since I’ve updated so I’ll recap the last week of classes. I had two tests. I think they both went pretty well. I’m not too worried. Plus I’m pretty sure that 50% is a C! lol! Last Wednesday, [...]

So, I have absolutely no motivation to study for my Philosophy test tomorrow, hence the reason I’m writing this right now! lol! I suppose I should probably be a little concerned about it, since it is my first test here and it counts for 25% of my final grade, but I don’t think it will [...]

It’s incredibly hard to believe that I have already been here for six weeks! It feels like two! But alas, it is, and Spring Break is just a week away!  Crazy!
Things have been pretty low key lately.  Last week I went climbing at this super awesome climbing gym.  It was a lot of fun.  Hopefully [...]

FYI: Flickr is dumb and only allows you to upload a certain amount of photos per month, so now I’ll just provide a link for each album on facebook.
