I'm baaaaack!

Time is flying by faster and faster everyday. I apologize to all keeping up with me here for the long gap. I have been drowning in school work since I've got back from my break. Drowning. 6 papers due before the end of the semester in two and a half weeks. All over 1000 words. Currently on the 4th now. I can almost see the light!!!!

I'm going to go back through the passed dates and post my favorite picture of each day during my trip to Australia and through the South Island, with just a brief description of what that day entailed. So feel free to look back to last month for what I'll add.
I wish I could describe in words the amazingness of that trip, I fear nothing in life will top it! The beauty of the South Island is unreal. I need to return! I'm seriously considering coming back with a working visa!

Since my return, nothing too exciting has been happening. My school work has deprived me from taking any weekend trips and has also limited my social life. The work is a bit hard, at least harder than what I was expecting, just a lot of stuff piled up at the moment. What's even more stressful is how fast time is dwindling away! It makes doing school work even harder because I want to just be out doing stuff or at least planning stuff for when school ends.

However, I got an A back today with some pretty awesome comments from my teacher on an essay I was really struggling with. It lifted my spirits a little to know at least the work is paying off :)

Anyway, only 2 papers left after this one, then a week break before finals start. We'll probably make our last long distance trip until (drumroll) Allie comes!!!! She finally booked her tix and will be here November 16th!

Then, plenty of lil trips around the North during finals (they are very spaced out) and 5 whole days to plan for Allie and Stephen's trip. Good things ahead!

I can't believe two months from now I'll be home. Seriously crazy how fast this is going!

Aright, so i'm gunna backtrack now. I'll be keeping up as best as I can these next 2 months!

Later y'all


OH! And above is a pic from tonight of a lil pier in Beach Haven, about 20 minutes away. I forced my roommates to take me somewhere to see the sunset cause I needed to see some beauty to keep me goin' :)
