Life is Good

(Almost a coke ad)

It is amazing how much time I have spent out in the sun recently. I would say that maybe only an hour a day, if that, is spent on the computer and what free time I have is spent out in the summer sun. That is partly the reason why the posts have been slacking recently.

Since the last post I have now had two weeks of class and have settled into the routine of one class a day, except on Mondays. It is an interesting mix that should prove to be tough but very interesting at the same time. It will be looking at New Zealand as a small state in the Middle East and then as a larger player in the Pacific Region. Oh and for fun there's some environmental econ as well. The class schedule is pretty nice and relaxed with just a class a day and Fridays with a fortnightly tutorial.


(Where I live)

Besides class I have spent a majority of my time cooking group veggie dinners and laying in the grass soaking up the sun for about 3 or more hours a day. During the first week of classes I went to several of the orientation concerts with a solid variety of Kiwi music ranging from screaming punk to bass so loud it moved the hairs on my arm dub-step. The best one was a Saturday concert that was outside and had some really good Kiwi dub of Six60 and the Black Seeds.

I have also started my introduction into the sports realm by attending a 20-20 cricket match as well as a Crusaders rugby game. Though my ability to fully understand the games is lacking, I think I can finally understand the basics of it all.


(At Sumner Beach)

Overall life is good and I feel like I have been here for ages. Walking on Sumner beach today in the sunshine was great and relaxing. Life is settled in for the most part and so its time for the fun to begin, well, continue. As always keeps the comments rolling and I'll try and respond if me mum doesn't beat me to it.
