Classes for both of us have been done for a week, but we are still in the school mode due to the long final exam period here at the University of Otago. Kiara and I are both used to having our finals immediately after classes are done, and being done with finals shortly thereafter. It is quite a bit different here. There is a week and a half "examination free" period for studying, followed by two weeks of finals! This two week examination period (three weeks counting study weeks) has both pros and cons; we get lots of time to study, but after over 20 days straight of studying I have the feeling we will both be burnt out.
Kiara has three finals, each one day apart. Her first final is this Saturday, so she will be done with the "study" portion of her study abroad experiance this Wednesday afternoon/early evening.
I have four finals, though mine are quite a bit more spread out than Kiara's. My first is this Saturday, followed by Monday, the next Saturday, and the next Wednesday (18th). Unfortunatly, my final schedule interferes with the next powerlifting meet I was planning on attending...Also, the 18th is the last possible day for finals...bad luck all around!

Yikes, finals! I like the sound of that, because it means you'll be home within a month - right? However, I find it strange how they spread out the whole process over so many days, with a week and a half for study. Didn't you say that someone said that this period of time is the only time you need be concerned about? I'd say Good Luck, but I seem to have some kind of built-in curse emanating from me, so I won't say it. I dare say Lots of love, though. Gr. Barb
Just catching up with you two; your blogging has been admirable throughout your trip; I doubt many other travelers will be able to match in quantity or quality.
Hope the finals are fun, or at least fun to have done!
love,
Auntie Barbi
