Today is the first official day of spring break for Auckland University and in a few hours I am headed to the South Island for two weeks! So, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I will only have sporadic internet and probably won't be able update this blog much over the break. I want to wish everyone who is moving back to school and starting classes good luck. I miss y'all!

Sunny Over The CBD

This is a photograph of downtown Auckland that I took on top of one of the volcanic cones in Auckland, Mt. Eden a few weeks ago. Today is one of those days when I wish I was little again. I wasn't feeling very well yesterday and today I got hit in the face with a cold. It's not that bad, but it's still one of those days when you just wish you were at home again so that mom can take care of you and listen to you complain. However, I look at this photo and I am glad that I have the chance to be in Auckland, even if I do have to miss out on mom's good 'ole chicken-less noodle soup on days like this.
