The Mother of all blogs!!

Time for a big catchup blog. Since tramping I have had uni, exams for uni and then holidays. Exams went okay, got Bs which isn't too bad. Aiming for the As this semester. Over the holidays Hamish and I headed up North. We couldn't believe how much warmer it was up there, we got off the plane in ts and shorts and met dad who was all rugged up...we couldn't help but laugh. Everyone at the airport looked like they thought snow was on its way!! us southerns thought it was summer! We spent a night in tga and then headed up to hamishes grans in hahei. Hahei is such a mint place, really small little town on the sea. We spent a week there hanging with hamy's gran and exploring. Pity the weather wasn't the flashest and everytime we went out we came back drenched. Not to worry tho, it was all good fun!!! we went around to Hot water beach three times to try and build our pool in the hot water but everytime the tide was either too far in or at low tide there was still a huge swell coming in so we had to settle with warm feet instead! It was good fun tho and def something to do when up the coromandel. We also did a day trip up to see the coromandel town which was pretty cool. Had a yum lunch there and saw heaps of little beachy towns on the way back to Hahei.After leaving Hahei we came back to tga for a few days, caught up with mum and dad and my friends form back home and then headed to the bach for a few days. The bach was great and katherine and hamy's cuzzie also joined us. We headed out on the boat one day and went for a ski....jez it was freeeeeeeeeeezing!! we had a well deserved hot swim afterwards!! after the bach we headed home for a few days before flying out back to chch. Was pretty cool in chch because it snowed!!! at Hamishs flat it had a wee bit so we headed up to the POrt hills with all our gear hoping to have a wee ski down some slope. This didn't quite happen, we weren't even allowed up the Port hills the snow was that bad, so we ended up having a big snowfight, I def lost!!! Now back in dunas for semester 2. Have had reOweek this week, lots of partying and good times. Will be right into the study next week tho. Having a blast:-)
