My first blog in quite some time - and rather than blaming laziness, I feel I can attribute my online silence to the full on nature of the last couple of weeks. Re-OWeek, the first week of second semester, was full of events within the hall - as documented in James' writing in his blog. In addition to this, I spent the weekend just gone in Wanaka, snowboarding with ex-Selwyn residents. In my opinion the proximity of Dunedin to the South Island's major skiing area is one of it's best features - with Wanaka only three hours away it's pretty easy to find a few mates who are keen, jump in the car and head over for the weekend. I recommend sorting out accomodation first though, tenting in a paddock and waking up to a heavy frost isn't that good a way to get a proper night's sleep.
However all these goings-on come with a tradeoff - that being that two weeks into semester I'm already behind in all my subjects. And with that in mind, it's probably time to stop writing this, head off to the library and get some work done.
