time flies
it really has.
last thursday and friday were spent at Hui on the marae. all that hype leading up to it and we made it through. the workshops were really interesting (treaty of waitangi and flax weaving) and the food was good. and incredibly i managed to sleep surrounded by 79 other students and staff.
the whole area was really beautiful and we got some sun day two, managed to fit in a walk and saw some horses and sheep and little lambs. i love little lambs and little calves! they are so cute. i can't wait to move somewhere classed "rural" so there aren't any animal restrictions.
today was relaxed and slow though i did practice a bit of driving for friday's test. quite amused when i was reversing against a slope and lik said i sounded like i was racing backwards. i think when i grow up i'll be a boy racer.
tomorrow early start for us. B's picking us up at 0820 and then we're off to the marathon! drinks stations number one, very important job! we also spent a good part of the night making a butter cake with chocolate icing for her family to thank them for having us over for lunch last week.
then it's back to school as usual, and assignments and then holidays end sept. YAY! can't wait to drive to Fjordland. never been before so it's going to be so exciting!
