Ghost town

I've finally finished my exams, celebrated it well (keg stand, drinking 3 days in a row etc etc) and now it's time to pack up. Dunedin is empty and boring without all the students though. Most people finished their exams weeks ago and now everyone is either gone or moving out. No matter how disgusting this place may be when scarfies run amok, it is just boring and sad now that they're gone.

Normal Dunnerz life:

The flat with the Bat Cave sign was in such a bad condition it had to be torn down! RIP Bat Cave.

I was in town with Eilidh today and we saw christmas decorations, other people (not students) and pretty shoes. There is life outside the University, but right now I just don't feel like it. And seeing santas and christmas trees all over the place when it's summer outside makes me sick.

The epic kiwi trip

I've been planning and now I'm waiting impatiently for the great adventure ahead.

My mother is coming over to NZ in just 10 days and we are going places! First a wildlife tour to the Otago peninsula, then a visit to Cadbury's chocolate factory and then we're off to Queenstown! We're going to see the most beautiful place in the world - Milford Sound in Fjordland national park. Skydiving over lake Wanaka is booked as well. Then we're off to Nelson and the two national parks - Nelson Lakes and Abel Tasman. I'm also looking forward to meeting Eilidh's awesome family again. After Nelson we're going on a wine yard tour and then to Christchurch to catch our flight to Australia. After three sunny days in Sydney, we're going on a weekend surf camp. This is going to be epic!

But first two exams with sweat and tears then two parties and then a whole day of packing... The reward will worth so much more after hard work!

Fuck I Never Actually Learned Shit (=FINALS)

After having a dream about failing because the teacher locked me up in his office, I woke up much later than planned. I don't know who is more unreliable when it comes to waking me up - my phone or my flatmate Eilidh (I'm sorry, Eilidh, but you are a bad waker!). Luckily I made it on time and I found the examination room. Then I kinda sort of screwed it all up. The functions came out wrong, lacked the properties and that put me off. I think I failed it, more than nailed it so to speak.

I've been studying for over 2 weeks for this one (Microeconomic Theory), and today's exam just proves my incapability of succeeding in this paper. I'll show you what it looks like:




Ok, I could have done worse I guess, like this person:
