And so the long summer begins...

I'm a little behind on posting and don't have any photos from the past week as I've been spending most of my time studying for the exams which I've just finished; meaning I'm now officially on my Summer holidays, no more work until March!!
Both exams were alright, should find out how I did within the next couple of weeks; they're much quicker at getting results back here than in the UK; already found out I got an A+ in the practical exam I was worried about :)
Whilst most of the past couple of weeks has been spent hunched over my laptop and books I did take some time out to go to the Embassy cinema in Wellington, made famous by the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings premiers; a much nicer cinema than most I've visited in the UK. Matilde, Amanda and I went there to see 'Captain Phillips'; a great film starring Tom Hanks as a captain taken hostage by Somalian pirates. Despite making me dizzy at the beginning with some annoying camera work it was a really good, intense film with great acting from Tom Hanks.
Other than that my week has been pretty dull. I managed to go out for a few runs along the water front, dodging the bipolar weather we've been having; bright blue skies one moment then torrential downpours and house shaking winds the next.
I'm now on to planning the next 4 months of travelling; first stop Northland with a couple of Italians, I'll keep you posted (and hopefully have a few more photos)!
