no breakfast this morning, slept in til about 10:30 then started working on school work and getting my Nelson pictures ready. went to lunch at about 12:30 and continued to work on my school work. today was largely meant to be a day of catch up from the previous weekend. got ready to go out to the Auckland Blues rugby game, they were playing the South African Bulls. took a taxi from the hall with Stine and Paul, then began the process of trying to get in and get decent seats. the game is still a little confusing to me, but [View Full Entry]

breakfast at 8am then off to biometry lab to work on the Assignment. met my friend Margot in lab and we proceeded to tackle the assignment. left after I realized I didn't want to type up all the math equations and that I would rather do it by hand. went back to the dorms in time for lunch then went to the remainder of my classes. came back and started getting ready for the formal dinner. wore my cutesy $7 dress that I adorned with little brooches, it turned out quite nice. dinner consisted of wine, sushi, sirloin steak, deep fried [View Full Entry]

breakfast at 8am, then back to the room to study! ate lunch. went to lectures from 2-5pm as usual, nothing too exciting in class, just switched lecturers in my ecology class. we were learning all about tropical rainforests and the different speciation that occurs. kind of made me wish they had the discovery channel here, I guess I can say thats the one biggest thing I miss; a TV show that I could generally learn something from. or wishing that I still had Planet Earth with me, such beautiful places to see! granted i'm taking every opportunity to get out and [View Full Entry]

no breakfast this morning, wasn't really feeling breakfast, but I did grab a few pears for late morning snack. Spent the day with Elaine at the shop :-) so nice...got to learn about the ups and downs of running a business and dealing with dropkick people, but now I have more respect for those who can pull it all off. lunch consisted of Subway in the store with Bruce, he went back into work so Elaine and I could catch up and chit chat, so nice to have a girl friend to talk with! Left from the shop to catch the [View Full Entry]

breakfast this morning was wheat-bix, milk and sugar. Fergus and crowd left shortly after breakfast, and as much as I'll miss the attention, the peace that followed the departure was also quite nice. Bruce and I did some running around for their house then made our way out to Ngarau caves, in the Abel Tasman National Park (or at least close to it). Looked out over Hawke's Lookout then went on to explore the caves. Learned a little bit about Moa birds and the history of the cave while exploring, also got to experience complete and total darkness. crawled out of [View Full Entry]

Easter breakfast this morning (eggs, tomatoes, toast, hashbrowns and juice) then received 3 huge Cadbury Crunchie Easter eggs from all adults, so much chocolate! decided we would try rock fishing to start the day, that went poorly seeing as how all the lines got stuck in the rocks, the fish were bighting though! went to Maupo to go to the beach. there just so happened to be a fair going on at the time as well as it being a nudist beach. plenty of images stuck in my head, but i'm happy that people felt free to do their own thing!
