Ah! Study study study...therefore nothing exciting to report in the ways of traveling. I've just spent the past week studying for my first exam which was my Maori culture exam. I'm so tired of reading Maori words by now and I can't seem to get them out of my head. The exam was pretty intense, it took me over two hours to complete and was for the most part, just answering the essays. I now have to completely switch my brain and start studying for my Friday exam on Equine Reproduction and Breeding. Still haven't found a car yet for traveling on the South Island, but we are all very busy making it difficult to do some research on it.
Had a wonderful day last Thursday which helped me appreciate my friends here. I was supposed to go visit James in Taupo, but because he was leaving the country shortly, he had too much stuff still to do, therefore he didn't have time to spend with me, which is understandable. I was still bummed out, but my friends definitely made up for it. Inger told me to meet her on campus a little before one because she had a problem and needed some help. A load of baloney! She took me on the bus and we went into town where we met Zoe and Kari and the four of us went to the Bean Cafe which has awesome bubble tea which I had been craving for a couple of days. We then walked around Palmerston for a bit and got some ice cream as well. It was very simple, but very kind of them and I appreciate it so much. Who knew I has going to make such good friends halfway around the world in less than 5 months?
The picture is one James sent me of a sunset near Taupo. Enjoy :)
