Okay, my essay on agriculture is officially handed in. There are
several people that are still fixing with their essays, not even half way done. It is due tomorrow at 4 pm so they better work it :p
The next couple of days will contain of study.. study.. and more study.
Actually, on saturday I will go down town to watch some competition in snowboarding. They have apparentally set up a big slide thingy by the viaduct, sounds nice! The finals will be on then, woop. Hopefully it doesnt rain, have been kind of dry for a couple of days now...
Ah yeah, it is winter here now. 15-16*C during the day, will get colder ofcourse. I think it'll be coldest 6*C but normally around 10*C during winter here (I think).
Need to sleep now, got an early lecture about the reproductive system tomorrow.
Here're some more pictures from Cook Islands.
Me holding a coconut;)
Cross Island walk, took us two hours;)
On the way to the forest to climb the mountains.

I wish I were rich so I could go back there for winter break. Awesome place!

Back from
Cook Islands.
It was
awesome.
In summary: dogs, coconuts, clear water, sun, rain, mice, spider, new contacts, sand of sea shell, scooters, bikes, hitch-hike, pricy, sunset, sunrise, pasta, rum & coke, fishes & amazing memories.
We departed from Auckland airport friday around 6:30 pm; arrived to Cook Islands around 12 am (the day before; thursday). They are 22 hours behind New Zealand time; funny how it can change when the flight was only 3,5-4 hours long.
We were greated with very high humidity and a older man playing island music on a small guitarr while singing. Pretty welcoming I must say.
two days were filled with rain while the remaining days were sunny with parts of clouds tripping by. The water is really amazing at some places, you can see fishes everywhere. I've never swam in such clear water in my life, so it sure was a new experience for me seeing all those fishes around me.
We did our theory lessons and pool dives for our PADI (scuba diving certificate); but the day we were supposed to dive in the actual sea - it rained like
crazy. The remaining days were very rough aswell (on the water) so no scuba diving in the ocean for us :/ we'll have to take our remaining PADI lessons somewhere else, I'm thinking of taking them here on New Zealand. Surely they must have some awesome places to go dive at here.
If you ever consider travelling to any of the pacific Islands; make sure you live on a resort with included meals. The stores ripps tourists of money; it's very expensive. They don't have everything either; it's a small island and they get deliveries once a week (I think). You want to enjoy your stay there; it's a paradise island, come on.. You don't want to end up driving around the island to find cheap food to make your own meals. Also, I think Fiji would be a better choice to visit. Not saying Cook Islands is bad - it's amazing - but apparently Fiji seem to be nicer overall (maybe it comes with the pricetag aswell).
Here're some pics:
Need I say I got 49/50 on my Human Anatomy & Physiology exam (HAP) and an A in another hand in assignment in Knowledge, Enquiry & Communication. It is easy for a swede to underestimate himself. Do not ever think you're less smart than anyone else; it's what you make out of it that counts. Study hard but enjoy your life, it's the only one you've got.
