I&#8217;ve been hit with a cold these past few days so my mind is a bit scrambled at the moment, but I&#8217;m still alive and well!<\/p>\n<p>Queenstown two weekends ago was amazing! The weather was a lot colder than expected but it was amazing to see all the snow-capped mountains and being able to hike through the snow was definitely an experience. Quick tip, don&#8217;t try hiking through the snow in Nike Free Runs, you will slip and fall multiple times, I know from experience. A couple of friends and I also did a mountain luge where you ride this little low-riding tricycle of some sort down the mountain. The wind speeding down the mountain was relentless, but the views were spectacular! That weekend, all my friends and I also went to a western style bar and rode on the mechanical bull. I&#8217;d have to say I think I did pretty well on it!<\/p>\n<p>The rest of these past two weeks have been pretty low-key, just studying for midterms and writing papers. I&#8217;ve also been trying to save money for my upcoming road trip around the South Island for mid-semester break! I&#8217;m so excited to spend 10 days of just pure exploring with good friends. A bunch of other people from our program that go to school in the North Island will also be joining us and I&#8217;m so excited to be reunited with them. Anyways, I&#8217;ll definitely have a lot to say after the trip, so until next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freaked out a little bit this morning when I realized this post a but late!
