Hello Everyone! Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. This will probably be my last post while I am still here but am sure I will post a few once I get home. I can’t believe how fast the time has here has gone. It actually seems like a month or so ago that I was sitting with Sarah at home actually freaking out about being gone for 6 months and now I am headed home in 9 days and have no idea where the time has gone. I am excited to get home to see friends [View Full Entry]

Hi All, Hope you are all doing well. It is so weird to think that I have been gone for over 4 months now, while I have definitely had my moments of missing home and often wish that people from home were here to experience this amazing country with, I can’t believe how quickly time is flying by. I have just over a month left until I am home. While “I have done more this semester than anyone my age should” as my family keeps saying, there are still so many things that New Zealand has to offer. This past [View Full Entry]

Queenstown HI Everyone, I hope everyone is doing well back home or wherever you are. Well Fall has arrived in Dunedin, which is a little bizarre seeing as it is May but it is actually gorgeous here in the fall. Well this post will be a bit shorter than my epically long last post. I haven’t done all that much travelling after “spring” break. It has been nice to spend a few weekends around Dunedin. Two weekends ago on Sunday, I went with Butler (my study abroad program) on the Taieri Train, this old fashion train to Middlemarch. It was [View Full Entry]

"Spring" Break Road Trip! Hello Everyone, We there sure has been a lot that has happened since I last wrote. So you all are going to have to bear with me. Two Friday’s ago, at about 8am I headed off on my big “spring” break road trip. Susannah, Clancy (my roommate), Andrew (a friend), and I all packed up our $650 car and set out on an almost 10 day journey, followed by Anna, Yvonne, and Ally in their car. We headed first to Christchurch on Good Friday, which was kind of cool seeing as it is probably the most [View Full Entry]

Untitled Untitled Hey All, Sorry it has been a bit since I last posted. Since my last posting of my crazy sky diving adventure I have remain feet firmly planted on the ground in Dunedin. I have spent the past two weeks actually doing the first assignments that I have had in New Zealand, which I suppose isn’t too bad as mid-semester break begins tomorrowJ. Thrown in the middle there was my 21st! That is right, as Erica put it, “ I am officially allowed to drink in a country I will not be in for the next three mont [View Full Entry]

Hey All, Hope you are all well. My time in New Zealand continues to be amazing…I just don’t think this will get old. Since I last wrote I spent last weekend here in Dunedin celebrating my friend Yvonne’s 21st and St. Patty’s Day. All those of you on facebook can see the numerous photos of me posted in full on green gear. It was pretty nice to have a weekend chilling here just hanging out and lazing around. Big news of last weekend was that I found out there is enough money to fly me home to play in the [View Full Entry]

Hey All! So here is part 2 of the post. Hope you all enjoyed the first part. I forgot to mention in my last post that before our big trip to the Catlans a bunch of us all went to see Katchafire (a fairly famous NZ band). The concert was amazing. Anyway this past week I have started to get into the swing of having class a bit more but am still struggling to find the motivation at times. I am still having an awesome time just hanging around with my flatmates and other friends I’ve made. I have had the [View Full Entry]

Hello All. Well I again have lots to report and not all that much time so I am going to do another series of two entries to talk about the last two weekends. I have now completed a full 2 weeks of class and am actually really enjoying them. I am in class a lot fewer hours then at Bowdoin (mostly due to the fact I am not taking any lab courses at the moment) but am finding the material very interesting. It is a little difficult to get the hang of actually being in class as I am coming off [View Full Entry]

Hey All! So life is pretty good here in Dunedin. After heading back from Te Anau and Milford Sounds we entered the crazy week of orientation…all about having a good time and meeting tons of people. Two of my roommates Holly and Scott arrived on Sunday night. It was awesome to get to meet them. Scott is my “kiwi host” and is awesome! He has totally made the transition here so easy. I have spent quite a bit of time hanging out with him and his friends who are all really cool. Holly is from just out side of Buffalo, NY. [View Full Entry]

Hey Everyone, Sorry it has been so long since I have written so I have decided to update 2 times because a lots has gone on since I last posted. Well since I last wrote I spent a few more days settling in a bit more. I registered for my classes, or papers as they are called here, which was actually pretty hard work as I had to get signed off on each of them separately and had to walk all over campus to get the signatures. Seeing as I had no idea where anything was this took a good while [View Full Entry]
