School and sightseeing

Hey guys - sooo not much super exciting is going on over here, except that I just finished week #2 of school so things are STARTING to get kinda sorta intense.. not really though! I feel like things are still slowly getting sorted out ie, scheduling and such. A little difficult with the situation with facilities on campus. ANYWAYS I just spent the evening making some delicious snacks and meals to take with me on the bus tomorrow and for this weekend in DUNEDIN! Hannah and Sarah have been doing some adventuring (I know, I've been checking their blogs as well, BUT I get to hear stories when I see them!) in Queenstown and Milford Sound, and will be meeting me in Dunedin tomorrow afternoon. I don't have a Lonely Planet NZ unfortunately so my next task is to do some research online and maybe come up with some weekend activity ideas. All I know so far is: Cadbury chocolate factory in town... tour? YUP. I'll be sure to update you when I return to Christchurch! Everyone HAPPY Feb 29 (back home), hope you enjoyed the extra day, and have a fantastic weekend! Thought I'd give you a little taste of Christchurch from the photos I have so far!

View East of downtown and out toward the Pacific Ocean! so weird that the Pacific is to the EAST...

Re:START - the shops housed in storage containers getting business going downtown

Front window of a closed down shop - eerie how everything is just like someone took what they could and couldn't go back
