Ugg..

This is the last week before semester break, so to say the least, it is horrible! I actually have tests and assignments due! Thats not the point of studying abroad, haha! Well, at any rate, there isnt much interesting to report here due to the fact that I have holed myself up to study and study some more. I guess the good new is that semester is already half way over. I still can't believe that.
The next two weeks are spring break and this is how they are shaping up:
First Weekend: Tramping club hut birthday party
Monday: Volunteer at the Human Nutrition Unit
Tues: Write a huge paper, study, and head out to tramp across Rangitoto Island, roller derby practice
Friday: Train down to Wellington
Saturday-Thursday: Work on an organic apple farm and hang out with some awesome hippies
Friday: Train back to Auckland
Saturday-Sunday: was supposed to go to a wilderness first aid course but it got cancelled!! :(
So with the light at the end of the tunnel, its all not so bad. Currently, at the Human Nutrition Unit I am being trained in for centrifuging and organising blood samples, taking blood from cannulas, and soon, I will become a phlebotemist! Yay! I get to steal your blood!
Also, for news, I have figured out my derby name. I am going to go by L'exi-cuter and I am part of the team Coastal Carnage. Our first bout is the 29th of September and so far I know about 30 people who want to come watch (including some folks who are makin t-shirts!).
Thats all for now! Wish me luck on my exams.
