First day of classes! This is the events fair.. about the only time I've felt alone in Christchurch! Being surrounded by a thousand people I'd never seen before and sorting my way through the booths was rather different when on a different continent
...I did hit the strong man hammer hard enough to break it though... it wasn't back the next day either.
Back up to the Port hills! This was a monday after class, pretty sweet. I NEVER would do this in Rochester, but we had a great hike. Went into Victoria park this time (I'll put the gpx of that up too)
This was a good scramble to get to! Awesome volcanic rock in all directions and Lyttleton down below
 |
In Antarctic Studies class. We were discussing all the nation's bases before getting a primer on international law and it pertains to sovereignty in territories down there.
EXCITING UPDATE: I FOUND THE PHOTO CAPTION BUTTON IN BLOGGER! No longer need to write my own inline css for EVERY caption I do. It'll look nicer in the next post. The little smatter of web design was kind nice though |

| It rains here too. This is a few feet outside my window, looking at the common room . The trees beyond are the greenbelt separating us from Ilam ("I lum") fields. |
 |
Christchurch Memorial service for the 1 year anniversary of the quake. Quite sobering to have the Jackhammers running in the background at a building that was just declared to have to come down immediately.
|
 |
| The best treat on the way back! It even had a inductive sensor buried in the sidewalk that knew I was there! |
 |
| Lots of fitness classes! I'll be getting my $70 worth for the semester.. |
 |
| Paint party aftermath! I had paint in my scalp, nose and ears for a few days.. it was pretty wild. |
