The death of a fleece, and the start of classes.

This will be quick, because I am leaving to go to a hypnotist show in a few.
So yesterday, all the international students got to go on a trip to see some New Zealand bush and visit a wind farm. I think Palmy relies mostly if not solely on wind power. It is very windy here. The little walk we did, kept making me think someone should pinch me because I can not get over the natural beauty of this country. What is even more exciting though? at the end of our short trek there was a play ground equipped with a teeter totter!!!! So of course I went on it, American playground lack in comparison, one kid hurts himself and teeter totters are yanked from all playgrounds.
Then we drove the short distance to the wind farm. You can't even imagine how big the wind mills are, well unless you have seen one yourself. The view from the hill was amazing. Then we returned to a church and had diner. Fish and chips my favorite! Well at least the chips were really good. Oh and they do not use ketchup here, they use something called tomato sauce not quite as sweet as ketchup, but still pretty good.

BUT, today I started classes. I had such nerves last night and this morning. Everybody said classes or papers here were so much different and that lecturers would not tell yoy about assigments etc. But too much relief it was just like the first day at Chico. All the teachers went over everything and I thought my classes would be huge. In my meats class there are only like 12 of us. My other 2 papers have 30-40. Well I must run to the hypnotist show.
