Semester one is complete!

So, my first semester at University is now finished, its over, its complete.

I sat my last exam this morning and so I am now awaiting my results which I think take about three weeks from the end of the exam period to be marked and put online for us to see.

This afternoon I was a bit baffled as to what to do.. I am thinking I am going to need to find some projects to work on over the semester break as I am not going to have episodes of Greys Anatomy to catch up on.. but I am thinking about starting the Games of Thrones series.. not to sure if I want to enter the obsession that everyone has over it though.

I have a busy couple of days ahead of me and then it will die down and I hope to be off exploring and adventuring, one plan is to go to Rangitoto Island, to do walks around there and to spend the day there.  I believe that Rangitoto Island is New Zealand's newest formed volcanic island, approximately 600 years old.

Tomorrow I am involved in the National Men's Health Day in Northcote with a team of student nurses taking blood pressures and blood sugar levels (yes, sticking people) among other things.

I am then going to be going straight from the event to hitting my bed and having a nap before I go to work and do a night shift. They joy of having a holiday and being able to ring work to actually ask for some shifts instead of other things!

I went for a little detour on Tuesday...

I went for a detour on Tuesday after going out to a friends house out in Stanmore Bay, I decided to go down a road I never knew existed (I don't exactly know the coast particularly well even though I have lived here for coming up three years!)  I found a picnic stop over viewing place and took a couple of picture- quality is not the best though!

Love this! Sun shining through the trees

View right out on the peninsula- I am assuming the furtherest tip will as far out on the peninsula you can go which is Gulf Harbour

I just love this!  The sea through the trees, you are also able to see a couple islands far away in the distance! The one on the far left I think might be Kauwau, and the one in the middle might possibly be Great Barrier.
