It is done. Thurs was my last day of school. All I have is one more paper that is due Nov 3 and I completely done. The internet in my house has cut out so I have to go to an internet cafe. The weather is warm, the beach is waiting. 

I think the fact that everyone's adventures in Australia is winding done is really taking a toll now. We threw a huge party last night and it was a great bonding experience. All of us know that we have made amazing friends from all over the United States, but its a smack in the face when you realize you may never see some of them again. Of course in the moment you can say you will visit each other and everyone will see each other again, but in reality who knows what will happen in life. When you go from seeing someone everyday to being across the country from them it becomes more and more difficult to keep in touch. 

The first person from our house, Max, leaves on tues to go to New Zealand and then home. Once he is gone I think everyone will stop ignoring the fact that people are leaving and start coming to terms. I think I am the second person to leave the house, on Nov 4th, and then many more follow after that. Next week starts our last full week together as a house. It is sad to think about it, I feel like I have been brushing it off this entire time. With nothing to distract me anymore it is time to face it. 

C'est La Vie.

Get Jealous!

Im back now! I'll give you the low down on the rest of my trip... My third full day in Queenstown was uneventful. I had full intentions to go skydiving but weather did not permit. So I just sat around and waited until the night fell. We Ice Bar for drinks. The Ice Bar is a bar made completely of ice. Even the drink classes are ice. There are ice sculptures everywhere. They give you a warm jacket and gloves before you go in. The temperature was -8 degrees Celsius.

After the ice bar we went to another bar that specialized in flaming shots. These were not normal flaming shots though.  They were a show and an explosion. Almost burning peoples eyebrows off. It was a crazy night of dancing on the bar and body shots.

The next day we went to Milford Sound. It is basically an Island full of trees and waterfalls coming down on every side. Hundreds of giant water falls pour into the sound below. It was formed by melting glaciers. It is on every list of something you should see before you die. We took a 3 hour boat cruise around the island.  The weather was pretty crappy so it was kinda boring but still beautiful at some parts.

The following day we went to the glow worm caves. Really boring. They take you through pitch black caves in a little boat and above you can see tiny little lights from the glow worms. 

From the caves we drove to Dunedin, the university college town. We went out and partied all night. 

The next day we drove back to Christchurch and said our goodbyes and went on a mini pub crawl. 

Now I am back in my house on the beach, ready for some hot weather.
