My semester is winding down. It's my last week of class i can't even believe it! It's also a high time of stress. I have a test this Friday that is worth %50 of my grade. As well as a big important paper due Friday. However after that i get a nice 2 week break until i have to take my first final, yay. Time for more travel. Me and a few friends will be heading up to Abel Tasman National Park to do a few days of Sea Kayaking and camping. It should be absolutely awesome! From There I'll be heading out to another place, TBA, for a few more days of hiking and camping before coming back to ChCh for my Maori final. After taking that the 30th i get another 11 day break before i have another final, so again more travel time. I plan on heading down to fiordland, which is supposed to be one of the most beautiful areas on EARTH! Again we will probably mostly be hiking but hopefully we can get some more sea kayaking.
In some cool new and happening news i have a new flat mate! His name is Michael and he's awesome! He's working on his masters in Mechanical engineering i believe, some type of engineering anyways. He's really nice, plays soccer, tennis, mountainbikes and is always up for the beach or Frisbee or anything me and the rest of my friends are up to. Everyone has enjoyed him so far and he stayed out with us dancing it up and hitting all sorts of bars til 3:00am+. The only thing I'm not that happy with is he beat me in a pint chugging race last night...ugh, i think I'll get him next time.
Everything else is pretty standard. The weather is getting more and more beautiful everyday, not that it really has been bad at all the entire time I've been here. We went out and did some more cliff jumping the past weekend as well as made it into town and the market where i was finally able to finish my souvenir shopping.
I'm started to get really sad this trip is kinda wrapping up...only like a month left. I'm really getting scared to come home. What if everything is different...it's scary. I'm sure I'll get back and it will seem like nothing has changed but right now I'm pretty nervous. I'm really going to miss all the people here. They're all such great people and I've had such incredible experiences with them. Things that have changed my life and I'll never forget. It's hard to imagine them leaving my life and being so far away from me. I'm getting a little misty thinking about it. Better stop writing before i get really sad.
Oh! one more thing i believe my dates for coming home may be changing. Originally i was planning on the 17th now it looks more like the 24th, of november of course.
Alright i'm off to bed.
Cheers!
