Midterms? But but this is New Zealand!

hullllo!

hope everyone's doing well, I am...now! What a week! After a great weekend full of kiwis, I was greeted by the reality that I'm actually still a univeristy student...woops. I have a large paper for criminology due the tuesday after break (oh yeah, on break now!) and other big assignments to prepare for the week I return. This past week I only had Maori midterm, which actually went really really well.

But I've also be dealing a lot with Vassar! Trying to get pin numbers for course registratoin and special permission from accross the globe is difficult! But I just got my pin and will register sometime over break. I've had little internet as our flat is switching servicies but am currently using internet up at Uni, though I can't skype anyone so, um Dad, for what it's worth: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DA---AD, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

I've also fallen behind with keeping contact with a couple e-mails/facebook things and appologize but I've been soo busy with trying to organize my senior year classes.

So did anything interesting happen this week?

YES! Yesterday I attended a "Shut up & listen" hosted by my friend Tan. (Full name Tanydd "Tanyth" she's from Wales!) Everyone brought one song to road trip to, one guilty pleasure, and two others that they were currently digging. It was lots of fun, and I'll probably be brining this back to Vassar.

Also, in new zealand Easter is a big deal. As in good friday = NOTHING OPEN; the library is closed until monday which put a large dent in my paper writing. Good thing there's food in my flat becuase yesterday there wasn't much open. Even grocery store chains closed. TV commercials aren't allowed on Good Friday or Easter or Christmas...some differences that were a bit frustrating (no, not the lack of commericals...though Kiwi commericals are quite good!)

Wow, short entry, but alas that's all i really have time for. I'm trying to work on the paper that's due so that I can better enjoy break and thus should probably return to it. I promise to have awesome adventures and many pictures to share. I acutally brought a spare battery and memory card for my camera as on our north island road trip, my camera battery almost died and I filled up my memory card.

Talk to you soon!
