O-Week!

Orientation Week for Semester Two!

Just a frosty morning walking up to Uni... (I keep wishing it was snow.. but its not!)

O-Week for me is basically just a week of 11am-1pm games and free food, and free all sorts outside of student central at Uni, the main (and official) stuff happens in semester one, but the still have a week of fun activities in the second semester.

Here are some photos from it:

Outside of student central (main cafe/amenities centre (and my science lab block) is the building to the right).

Tayla and myself... with a bunch of ANZ reps... BLUE!

Holidays!

Over the semester break/holidays I got up some pretty awesome stuff! -Never ended up doing Rangitoto because the weather didn't want me to ;)

LOTS of stay at home- relax days! I spent a day colouring in, drawing, reading, and writing in pyjama day one day.. other days I watched movies/ TV, and some.. I just sat and did not all that much, it was really good, and rather relaxing!

I took Libby (Toni's daughter) down to the Auckland Domain to meet someone to take her to her Dads, with Toni and Sam (her son), and we went through the car wash on the way back (something apparently neither had done..) IT WAS COLOURFUL FOAM!!

When I was due to go down to work to meet someone for a catch up I had to sit in stopped traffic because they were chopping trees down and doing landscaping work down the Waiwera hill to make it safer I am assuming because of slips an rock fall that happen there quite a bit!

North Head

On the second Friday after my exams had finished friends from high school Bailey, Stacey and Strachan had organised to go to the tunnels at North Head in Devonport once the first semester of University was over, to catch up with each other as Bailey was in Dunedin for first semester, I was at Massey and the other two were together at Auckland Uni.  We also spend a day at Stacey's hanging out and watching movies all day the following Wednesday.

Tawharanui with Taylor

During the first week of the mid year break I spent an afternoon out at Tawharanui Regional Park/ Beach with Taylor taking photos and exploring the area a little bit.

I love the landscape of Tawharanui, Summer is just amazing here! We plan to go back and camp over summer here too as they have camp grounds!!

These are a few of the photos taken as there were over 400 by the end of the day.

 

Taylor and her flat rock... 

We took heaps of pictures trying to catch the splash as the waves hit the rocks

Me and the crap shell we found...
