Well, that's it folks.  I officially finished all of my lectures and have begun finals.  It's finally starting to hit me, that the semester is quickly coming to an end.  And I still have so much to do!  But before I go on any more adventures, I want to reminisce about all of my classes.  

 
Finally, after being in Dunedin for three and a half months, I went to the Otago Museum.  Granted, it was mostly to find an object for a group project, but I took the whole afternoon to enjoy the sights.  I didn't go to the live butterfly exhibit, though, because I promised a friend I would only go with her.  I have to admit, this has been my favorite museum to visit, because it is set up more like a gallery than a museum.

A few days ago, I was right in the thick of that part of the semester where all the major projects in all your classes are due all at once.  So, of course, I have been swamped with writing and procrastinating.  And what better way to spend the latter than a trip to Christchurch!  Some friends of mine were selling cheap bus tickets, so I planned a weekend excursion that would give me time away from Dunedin and maybe give me inspiration for my many papers.  Through all the carsickness from reading and typing on the bus, early morning explorations, amazing city and museum sights, I managed to have a good time and finish an assignment!
