Friday was another beautiful day. In the evening, the international students had a train trip to some gorge I don't remember the name of, but that was absolutely beautiful. And they gave us a free bbq and I had the most delicious veggie burgers ever! Afterwards Ann, Andee, and I were pretty exausted so we got some famous NZ Hokey Pokey ice cream and watched a movie.
Yesteday I went on a trip to a harbor with Kayaking Club. I'm still deciding whether or not I want to join. The gear is really cool! I've only ever done two person kayaks, and one person is a ton more fun. People were flipping left and right though! The guy who was instructing us made us water exit (aka flip ourselves over on purpose!) to make sure we would be able to get out if that happened to us on a real trip. So we had to do that and it was freeeezing afterwards! I don't know if I've ever been as thoroughly cold as I've been in New Zealand. It's much different from being outside in the snow or walking around in the winter. It's like a damp, bone-chilling cold you can't get rid of. And my feet are all cut up from stepping on clams in the harbor after the water exit! In spite of that though, kayaking was still really fun, and I think would be even more fun on real trips down rivers.
Tomorow is our first day of classes but I just realized...I don't have any! On Mondays I'll have genetics but only for the last 6 weeks of classes, and genetics lab but only every other Monday. So tomorrow I'm free!
