Weekly Sunday Update

It's the weekly picture update! I am sorry there are so few pictures. I really have been doing a lot of schoolwork and just basically running around getting things done, and I don't exactly take pictures of me running errands.

Friday night I stayed in with my flatmates and their friends. We watched a movie, made fun of C4 (think MTV but it actually plays music videos) and basically spent the night chillaxin' (it's my new favorite word). Saturday I met up with Mark and Anna for coffee around 11:15. I haven't been in touch with them in awhile, so it was good to catch up. I got a lot of Rotary business taken care of, and we coordinated schedules for the upcoming months.

That afternoon I went golfing with some German friends of mine (as pictured below). This was the first round of golf I have played in roughly a decade, so me picking up a golf club again is a bit equivalent to the earth stopping spinning on its axis. Nevertheless, the world did not end, I played about as awful as I could, and I had a brilliant time doing it. The wind picked up about halfway through, so that wasn't so good. That night I went out to the bar to go watch the All Blacks trounce the Wallabees, and then I met up with some friends at another bar. Got in really late, got up early for church, and now I am here, dressed in incredibly oversized pajamas and generally just enjoying being lazy. I am very tired and need a day to do nothing. Tomorrow and Tuesday I will do some work, but not a lot. And then Fiji on Wednesday! I talked with Amy today at church, and she seems very ready for this relaxing vacation.

Now, on to the (3) pictures!

OK, so this is the course we played at. Greens fees are $10, and it is quite possibly the sketchiest course I have ever set foot on. It was still fun, though, and who wouldn't enjoy a day on the links with those mountains in the background?

Me and my beautiful swing. We discovered very quickly that if the entire course consisted of short game, I would be the best player ever. I didn't do so well with my drives. :) I did teach the Germans about wedge shots and how to use the pitching wedge (which, by the way, I cannot believe that I remember from back in the day) , so that was exciting.

This picture is just interesting. I walk to the library on Wednesday, and what do I find? A kickboxing tournament set up in the quad! I still have no idea why it was there on that particular day, nor do I know who organized it. There was an announcer and everything. Students were gathered all around to watch. You could hear this thing all over the Kelburn campus. It was crazy loud.

I think that is about all for here. I probably won't update again before I leave for Fiji, so you won't get another post for at least two weeks. I know, I know, disappointment abounds. BUT, when I get back from Fiji, I fully expect to have some amazing photos, so perhaps that will appease you. HaHa Cheers!
