Picture delays.
Wow... this week has been a bit hectic.
I've had two essays due [one this morning!] and they've taken a lot more time than I anticipated. However, they are both done now...
But this weekend [starting Friday morning {Thursday evening for all of you} at around 8] I have to attend a class field trip to a Marae [Maori meeting hall]. We will be staying until either Sunday or Monday night [no one can quite agree on when exactly we may be coming home], and are stopping along the way for various activities including: zorbing [google it! Tanya, Rob, and I are going all at once... apparently, it's a bonding experience...], hot springs, luging, gondolas, and a less expensive greenstone [think jade] shop.
Nothing major has happened in the meantime. Just class, research, and paper-writing.
We did get a new lecturer in my History/Culture class, and he's hilarious. He definitely keeps us more attentive than the previous one. She did not engage us at all. Hopefully, this means we'll learn more, too! Maybe.
Also, I haven't been able to get any new pictures up and I haven't even begun to edit the scenery pictures that are there now [which might be nice so you know what you're looking at...] and I probably won't have time to do so until Tuesday or Wednesday. There will be pictures from the Marae trip, though, so it'll be all good, yeah!
Oh! I don't have many addresses here. Like I've mentioned before, my Outlook is broken and I can't access much on it. I have tons of postcards, however... so please email me [cfheaney@bu.edu] with your address! I even have some written out already!
Next weekend, I believe some of us are going to Lake Taupo. Most likely, we will be camping, fishing, sailing, seeing Mordor and Mt. Doom [Lord of the Rings] and, oh yeah, skydiving. ;D If we can get a good deal, I'm going to get a DVD of it.
Also, it is likely-to-boarding-on-going-to-happen that I will be changing my tickets a bit. A lot of people who were going to Fiji right after the semester ended have changed theirs, and I do not think it wise to travel there alone. Plus, it'll probably give me an extra week in NZ, which I will use in the South Island. I'll keep you informed and I might actually need someone's help in rearranging my domestic flight. I'm pretty sure that if I keep the destinations the same, it shouldn't cost me anything to change the dates... and for the Air New Zealand tickets, I think they said it was only about fifty NZD to change. We'll see!
Ok, I think that's about it for me. I have to get going to class.
