Snow Day = Dunedin shut down

Woke up today to about 3 cm snow.. Which I didn't fancy too much.. but what can I do.

Wet and cold.. So now I really miss home, which this week is going to be nice and warm.. Well.. not too long til LA, so excited!  So, about the snow; New Zealanders handle snow about the same way that people in Oslo do the first time it snows every year, except 10 times worse. Haha. Some lectures was cancelled, I mean, that is a funny experience to bring back in the suitcase. Cars sliding of the road everywhere, roads closing, and air ports closed down. Crazy times! The worst about this is that the Christmas feeling hit me, and now I'm totally confused about what time of the year it is! :)

Tomorrow I'm having my first exam, and it is an two hour test in Child Development. Then it is a week til my next exam in Institutions of Childhood. Finally my last one in Food Science is the 15th. Can't wait to be done!

Autumn weekend and just 7 weeks left in school

We just had a lovely weekend this weekend. Saturday we did some errands in town, had an ice-cream at an ice-cream bar. We went for a walk in the botanic garden, and we were amazed at how beautiful it was there.

By the duck pond a lady gave us some bread to feed the ducks. They actually ate out of our hands! 

Quite funny! 

Relaxing in the botanical garden.

We stopped at the university at took some pictures there too. You can see the clock tower in the background.

We also went to a rugby game on Saturday night. It was the Highlanders (Dunedins local team) vs. the Sharks (from South Africa?). It was really funny and exiting, even if we didn't know the rules. The Highlanders won 25 - 23!

On Sunday we went to Octagon and had a beer and coffee with Aina! Also very nice.. So this weekend has been very lovely.

At school this is the last standard week for me. Next week and the week after on of my classes is not going to have any lectures, and the week after that I have my final exam in Child Development, and then the week after that the exam period begins!
