A slight reality check - 09/27/2013

Once Spring break was over it was back to reality. And the next two weeks were the most school work I did all semester up to this point. It still wasn’t that much. Over the course of two weeks I had two midterms and two papers. These two weeks were a reminder that I was still in school over here in New Zealand. However, after my two midterms were done I got go to a friend’s house here and have a home cooked meal, play with a dog and watch a movie on a huge TV. Even though my week was not that stressful it was exactly what I needed. I also got to introduction another person to the amazingness that is Mean Girls. I was also still doing things that would not happen in a normal week back home. I went to see the Auckland Philharmonic perform which was beautiful. 


I recognized a lot more songs than I would have thought, but I guess 13 years of ballet will do that.

The next week was my birthday! It, of course, was pretty much the only time of the semester where I actually had work. I had gotten to celebrate over the weekend and received Bailey’s and a Tim Tam cake with the candles stuck in peanut butter. For those who have never tasted the goodness that is Tim Tams, all I can say is, sucks for you! 


On my actual birthday I got balloons form my friends from my classes here and a cake delivered thanks to Mom and Dad. My friends also took me out for coffee and waffles which were great surprise. I think my friend James was more amused by the balloons than I was. 





After the two weeks were done I decided it was probably time to travel again so I headed out to Coromandel.
