The Thursday before I left for the South Island, there was a free day at the Te Papa Museum. It's free admission to get in, but you have to pay to go into certain exhibits. On that day, they let all Wellington residents into the Game Masters exhibition. It was all about the history of video games, and was really cool! They had over 100 free games to play, ranging from arcade games, to consoles, to computer and ipad games. I spent over 2 hours there! It was convenient that it happened to be on a Thursday, since I have no class that day.
Speaking of class, I've switched around my schedule quite a bit. I'm now taking Topics in Environmental Science, Photography, and Spanish. I have a pretty sweet class schedule!

In my Spanish class, I volunteered to be the Class Representative. They have them for every class here at Victoria, and they serve as the link between the class and the lecturers. If there are any problems, people can talk to me about it first and I can try to help them. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into when I volunteered! I thought it would be a good way to get to know my class, though. And apparently, it's not a hard job. One of the perks is that I get to plan a pizza party at the end of the semester. What college kid doesn't love free pizza?!
Last night, Wednesday, I went out for the first time in Wellington. I had been out to a bar before, but this was different. Hallie and I met up with our Kiwi buddies, and some others. We went to a few different bars and had some drinks. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of walking! And it is so expensive here, that a night out can really add up! Luckily I didn't break the bank, but I had fun and met some new people.
I'm excited for this weekend - Hallie and I are going to see a roller derby bout, and we're also planning to explore Wellington as much as we can. Should be fun!
