Easter Holiday is coming..

We just booked a 4 day trip to Akaroa, a small charming town east of Christchurch. We are planning to do some sea kayaking, hiking, and just relaxing. I found a really cute hostel, so now I'm waiting to hear back if they have any rooms available, fingers crossed!

AND, the weather is not looking to shady.. hehe

Doughnut Sunday

Must say I'm looking forward to this lunch/afternoon snack... "american police" style!

Other than that, this week I delivered two assignments, feels very nice to be done with them, but I'm also a bit nervous. I'm not sure if I have done them right, only time will show. Hehe.

I finally found shoes that I want to buy to have this fall/winter. I have ordered Leather Converse in Navy blue.. almost like the once I have, but with the thick sole, so I'll have them for more than one year.

Awesome, right? :D

Pictures from the Horse Trek at the Beach

Me on Mac, and Charlotte on Anna.

 

This was really a great experience. Started at about 8.30 in the morning, because of the tide, and we got the beach almost to our selves (only some rugby guys that had a morning workout). 

Horse riding and Larnach Castle

Last Saturday, 9th March, I went horse riding down at some of the beaches out on the peninsula.. and WOW that was fun! Me and a girl from Scotland were the only ones, so we really got to choose the speed our selves and just have fun. I think it is almost 3 or 4 years since the last time I was on a horse, so for me this was just so much fun! Charlotte (the other girl) brought her camera (I forgot mine in the stable), and she is giving them to me, but I haven't got them yet, hopefully I'll get them soon :) But I do have some pictures of the cute horses, Anna and Mac, that I took with my phone.

This is Anna, I started riding her, but changed to Mac halfway. 

And this is the handsome Mac. 

After this lovely trip I got sick, so Sunday was not so fun. But back to school on Monday. School is getting a bit more hectic now, I've had three assignments parallel over the last weeks, but two are done, and just one (large one) too go. 

The last weekend was spent by not doing too much. But on Saturday we had a short trip to the Farmers Market before we hit the gym. After that we decided to go out on the peninsula again, and headed for the Larnach Castle. Was a bit cold, now that autumn is coming, but it was nice anyway. 

Here Geir is in front of the slightly "modern" castle..lots of glass walls..wouldn't think that was were war proof. 

Very nice view from the garden out to the peninsula. 

Another part of the garden. 

School time

It's been a busy few weeks now that school have started. I've done some changes in my course outline, changed a course and deleted one, so now I'm down to three courses; and that makes my life a bit easier!
My schedule is not packed, but I start 8 am all week except on Wednesdays, and that's a bit early for some one that likes to sleep til at least 10 am.. Haha. Luckily it's only 4 weeks til the midterm break. For midterm we are planning to go tramping (hiking) somewhere, but we haven't decided where yet. Probably somewhere on the west coast.

The school is enormous compared to Lillehammer University College, so finding the right lecture theater on time was a bit difficult the first week, but I'm getting better at it. Apart from being a big school, with about 25000 students, it is also a very nice looking school; some new modern buildings, some old and very pretty buildings, and all still in use.

Not too much has happened lately, but we went to the movies and saw Django Unchained, which was a good, but very violent movie. We have also started a workout program, and that was about time, my body is dying from the inside out! You can see the program on Geir's blog gtufte.com.

This Saturday I've signed up for a horse trek, and this I am really looking forward too! 4 h trip at the beach, which I think will be awesome.
