Some New Experiences


Howdy again...still experiencing technical difficulties uploading photos from Samoa...sorry, I'll keep working on that. Last week was an awesome week of a class entitled "God and Nature"...lots of reading, writings essays, making class presentations, etc. Very informative though, and I gained a totally new perspective on how God relates to what He created, and therefore how we as humans should relate to it. Surfed twice (once with my proff!) at Mangamanu, a beautiful right-breaking swell about 20 minutes north of Kaikoura. Great times, big waves, and cold water! Stream Ecology started this week, with a proff. from Indiana. He's lived in over 10 countries, and has a thick Italian accent...pretty awesome. We've been out in the streams already collecting benthic macroinvertebrates like mayfly larva and dragonfly nymphs. yum! Did some analysis on these indicator species, then will be taking a "midterm" and "final" for a 5 day class! Basically, so much has happened that I just need to upload photos, but i'll keep working on that. How's life in the big USA? All i hear about it from here is that things are falling apart at the seems...will it even be there when i fly home in May?! shoot me an email if you'd like to elaborate


blessings!
