Sorry everyone for not writing this week but there hasn't been much excitement! I'm into my second week at school now and tutorials started this week so I've been pretty busy walking up the stairs of death multiple times a day. A tutorial is like a tutor session with about twenty people in it and you just ask questions that will hopefully deepen your understanding of the readings and the lectures. Most are mandatory so I'll be busy every week now! My first assignment is due this coming monday and it's a pretty hefty paper so I'll be working on that all weekend!
Hmm...this past week I did go see two movies...Alice in Wonderland and Shutter Island. Alice was not as good as expected...but I'm sure those of you who saw it at home understand why. It just wasn't funny or as entertaining and I had hoped. Shutter Island was incredible. I would definitely recommend that one!
I've started planning my spring break trip to the south island. It's going to be interesting and I hope everything works out! My plan so far is to fly down to one of the cities that are farther south and rent a car there and drive our way back up to the ferry and take the ferry back across to Wellington. Cars are pretty cheap to rent and that way we aren't suck on a bus with no opportunity to deviate and take a random day trip somewhere. I'm getting excited...it should be quite an adventure!
Oh, one interesting thing that happened! Last night we had a pretty intense storm here that knocked down a bunch of trees and tore some roofs off of buildings. I had been inside so I didn't really know how intense it was but it was a bad one! It's the only real bad weather we've seen so far in Wellington!
I stole this picture from the news but it's the storm front moving across Wellington Harbour! Pretty intense!
Well I think that's all for now! Sorry about the delay in postings! I'll try and write more frequently this next week!
