School Is Real

I have just finished my first week of school, and I've found the classes quite interesting. I'm taking four classes: Intro to Maori Culture, New Zealand History, Religion Society and Power, and Philosophy and Human Nature. Maori and History have a large number of international students in them, and the other two have mainly Kiwis.

The campus is beautiful but I haven't had a chance to take any photos of it yet, but I do have some pictures of my apartment:

Heres Lindsey, Sara, Brit and I at the cricket game. Lindsey and Sara are the girls that have a car and have taken me to Castle Hill. Lindsey, on the left, is from Texas and goes to Texas Tech. Sara, on the right goes to CSU and is from Pennsylvania.

I was supposed to be going to Kaikura this weekend to camp but its going to rain pretty much everywhere on the South Island for the next couple days so we stayed home.

Hopefully I can take some pictures of campus and put them up soon.

Nick,

It looks like you are having a great time and meeting lots of interesting people (read:girls). Keep up the beautiful pictures of climbing/scenery as they are a welcome escape from our unending Chicago winter.

The kids love watching the video of you zorbing. Danny would very much like to join you on your next excursion! We miss you lots but are so happy that you look soooo happy!

Love and blessings,

Aunt Julie
