The days are getting... shorter?

Alright SO it's been a while! I suppose that's because I am now settled in one place, and don't really feel like I am traveling anymore... and my daily happenings aren't SUPER interesting (unless you want to hear about my classes and school things - BORING) anyways I had been pretty much in Christchurch just for classes then leaving on weekends... up until two weeks ago (March 10 and 11 I believe), when I stayed in town mainly because a group project needed to be worked on. It was ok though, because it involved visiting the museum (hello, tourist) which was in fact FREE! Awesome. The museum had a ton of different exhibits, the one we had to see was concerned with Antarctica, but there was also a wearable art exhibit (cool but kinda weird), a typical 'old things and artefacts' exhibit (haha), and then an exhibit dedicated to the earthquakes. So needless to say, after my group peaced as quick as possible, I stuck around and took full advantage of the museum! Also that day I bought a book, wrote some letters and did some homework. Exciting! Anyways here are some photos I snapped at the museum and around Christchurch that weekend - couple weeks old but check them out :) Also, the days are getting shorter here, it is so bizarre. Daylight savings is on April 1st and I JUST realized that we will probably be gaining an hour... so strange. I'll probably google this.
