Monday:
My day starts sometime between 7:00 and 8:00 am. I wake up and turn the TV on to watch the morning news, which is very similar to the Today Show. After giving myself sometime to wake up, I start off with a healthy breakfast. I normally eat Frosties covered in yogurt, glass of orange or apple juice, banana, raisin toast, and maybe a fruit bar. After my morning breakfast, I head out to go surfing around 10:00 at Bar Beach with Jared, Elouen, Carstan, Ulrich, or David. Depending on the surf, we normally spend 2 hours at the beach before heading back. Its really nice knowing Elouen, Carstan, Ulrich, Jared, and David because they have a house 5 mins away from Bar Beach. I can leave my surfboard at their house along with my wet-suit. Its also nice that they have an outside shower. I can get all the saltwater off of my wet-suit and body. After cleaning up, I will sometimes buy a meat pie from the Darby Bakery. Afternoons are spent in relaxation.
Tuesday:
Tuesday start off around 7:00 am. Again I get up and watch the morning news with eat my breakfast. After breakfast I get ready for school. Before my classes, my study abroad group meets at 11:00 for a group session. After the group session, I head over to NUSA for some free lunch, which normally includes sausages on a piece of bread and a vegetarian meal. My first class is ABOR 1110 - Intro to Aboriginal Studies from 1:00 - 2:00. The professor is interesting and really laid back. After ABOR, I'll spend time hanging outside or in the Shortland building, which offers a wide variety of places to grab food and relax. My next class, MNGT 2002 - Business Venturing, goes from 3:00 - 5:00. After that I head back to the train for the apartment.
Wednesday:
Wednesday starts off at 7:00. I do my normal morning routine of news and breakfast. Class starts at 10:00 with ACFI 3140, or International Finance, and ends at 11:00. After ACFI, I head to Shortland to meet up with some international friends for lunch. After lunch, I waste time by listening to music for my next class. The next class is ACFI 3140 lecture from 1:00 - 3:00. After that I head for the train for the apartment. Wednesday nights are spent out on the town or chilling in the apartment.
Thursday:
Thursdays starts off like every other school day. I get up at 7:00, watch the news, and eat breakfast. Class, ABOR 1110, goes from 9:00 - 11:00. After my class, I head to NUSA for a free lunch, which includes a sausage and some other snack. Next, I spend time on campus waiting for my next class at 2:00. MNGT 2002 starts at 2:00 and ends at 3:00. After class, the Mountaineering Club normally holds a bbq around 6:30. After the bbq, I head for the train and for the apartment.
Friday - Sunday:
Friday through Sunday are pretty much the same. Since I have no classes for the next four days, I spend the weekend surfing at Bar Beach. If for some reason I have homework, I will spend time on it.
Depending on my food situation, I will take my awesome bike and go to Woolworth's for food. I acquired my bike from Dan the Bike Man. I paid $73 for it and I will get my money back at the end of the semester. Woolworth's is pretty much your average food market. Very similar to Festival or Pick n Save. It's very expensive though.
