Mid Semester Break Part1: Pops Is Tired…

So, from April 5th-25th, we had our mid semester break. I really think that schools stateside should learn from this and make their mid semester breaks a more appropriate length… Anyways, I don’t feel like writing too much, so I’ll just put up some pics and a brief synopsis. Day one included picking up Pops at the airport, getting a rental car, dawdling about my flat as I doing some last minute packing, and driving from Chch to Murchison the long way, via this route. It was a good day. And I did all the driving… Anyways, pics:

This is some river coming down in Arthur’s Pass.

And… Done!

It’s now about 7pm here, and I’m stoked to say that I’ve been done with classes for about 2 hours now!

We get a week off, and then head into 2 weeks worth of finals. I don’t finish until the 27th, but I’ve got a bunch of free time until then. For this coming week before my first exam (the 19th), we’re going up to Castle Hill for some sweet bouldering (where I’m going to send a V7 sit start to a V5 problem called Dominatrix), and then after that, some sort of road trip will ensue from Wednesday onwards. Haven’t figured out the details yet (or the big picture really), but it should prove to be good fun. Maybe sometime soon I’ll start posting up some pictures from the mid semester break when my folks were out here. Until then, happy winter to you all out there!
