Well it's over. The final was 3 hours long and I still didn't finish the last essay. It actually wasn't that bad; I'm still glad it's over though. A highlight of the exam was that I got the chance to use the phrase "intellectual masturbation." That was great.
In other news, Mallory, another American on exchange here in New Zealand, is leaving tomorrow to go home. I must admit... I am rather jealous. We all went out to dinner for her sendoff - this great Japanese restaurant called Kazu. The food was amazing. The one drawback about not having to tip people here in New Zealand is that the service always sucks. No incentive. I'll miss the old bat.

The trimester is over and I have a big final tomorrow. I should have taken this opportunity to study but instead I went to the Wellington Zoo with some friends. Even now the minutes are drawing nearer yet I'm sitting here writing this blog about how I went to the zoo instead of studying.
The truth is I've hated this paper since the first lecture. The professor is CANADIAN and we all know what that means. I thought it would be an interesting topic but apparently when you're studying Development in the Asia-Pacific you're meant to learn about all the problems that exist but you're never meant to find a solution. Then you're actually tested on the solutions you've yet to have been taught.

In June, I was accepted to Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. I've been here since July. It's where I live.
