All I have is two essays between me and studying for those tests.<\/p>\n<p>Since last time, a bunch of our friends from the same study abroad program that are studying in Auckland came to visit Dunedin for a week. It was so amazing to see everyone again. There was a lot of hanging out, going out to parties, and going out to eat that week.<\/p>\n<p>This past weekend I went with one of my flatmates and our neighbors to walk up to Signal Hill. It&#8217;s a really cool lookout that has great views of all of Dunedin. It was surprisingly hot that day, about 60 degrees, so the walks uphill were a bit tiring, but it was all worth it. It&#8217;s been pretty warm down here in Dunedin to all our excitement. The rains have slowly begun to stop and we&#8217;ve been having more sunny skies.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I finally made it to Nugget Point with a friend that I met here from New Caledonia. We&#8217;d been planning this trip for a long time so it was great to finally be able to do it. It&#8217;s definitely a must see when in Dunedin because the ocean views are spectacular. We had another surprisingly warm day again, almost 70 degrees, so it made the day even better.<\/p>\n<p>Today I have to start writing a 2000 word paper, so it looks like another day spent in the library. Until next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s really hard to believe I only have less than two months left here in New Zealand.
