So tomorrow we go to New Zealand. Well, everyone else does. I go take a test and sit in class for 4 hours. Im actually leaving Saturday at 8:50 am. But I am so excited. We are sitting in my room right now with everyone going, planning out what we are going to be doing for the next two weeks. Thats right. We waited till the last possible second to book hostels. But its ok. We know exactly what we want to do. Some of my mom’s favorites include skydiving, bungie-jumping, blackwater kayaking (kayaking in a cave… yeah.), traveling to various Lord of the Rings filming places, and camping.
The past week has been pretty eventful as well. My test Monday went better than I expected, although it was still pretty hard. It was three questions and two hours long, and no one in the class left early. Not usually a good sign. So I took my mind off it by going surfing. After that, I wrote a lab report until 3 in the morning, got up at 7 to turn it in, then went suring again.
Usually surfing is relaxing, but this particular morning, I thought I was going to die. I have seen hills in Kansas smaller than these waves. After an exhausting 20 minutes of paddling out, merely riding the waves up and down was enough of a ride for me. I should have know before I went out that these waves were just a bit beyond my skill level considering that there were only 5 surfers out there, 2 of which happened to be my housemates, who have been surfing since they could walk. So after getting owned more times than I care to recount, I decided to hang up my board and grab my camera for some fantastic photos. I swam out with my goggles and floated in the area just before I would get crushed and got some of the best surfing pictures ever. Im pretty sure some of them could be posters for ads and such. Ill post them online after writing this.
Ill do my best to find a place to post on here whilst I am gone, but I cant make any promises, since who knows when Ill be able to get to a computer, or civilization for that matter, for 2 and a half weeks. Before I go, Id like to thank you all for dilligently reading this. Its cool to know that people care enough to read about whats going on in your life. So thanks.
