Ok, so I started my classes last week and they are all pretty cool. My Exercise science class is actually a Biomedical biology class that they are making us take. It is extremely hard but to say the least I am learning A LOT. The classes here are very cool. You are not in a small classroom with 30 other students, instead you are with around 600 other students in a giant stadium seating theater. There are 2 giant projecters that project onto 2 giant screens that show the relevant material for the day. The other cool aspect of classes is that there is not just 1 professor. We have around 5 or 6 professors that teach the class because they are experts in their specific field. So we change professors about every 3 weeks. I also learned the difference between chico state and a REAL university. I find myself studying pretty much all week long and even sunday is designated a full study day. Saturday, however, is for fun.
This saturday I hoped on a bus with the rest of the international students at the school. The bus took us to long bay which is a beach outside of auckland. The beach was very nice and the water was super clean. I was really surprised when I didn't see beer cans floating by with seaweed attached to them. I kind of missed that but oh well. I was also excited to play some sports with the other students but they all played cricket. I had no idea what the hell was going on so I just watched. After that, they served us lunch and then we all went into the water. It felt good to be in the ocean, however, when we got back from the trip I realized I had morphed into a lobster. The sun here is rediculously strong due to the lack of an ozone layer above new zealand. Who do I have to thank for this? Well that would be my lovely neighbor Los Angeles. Thanks.
After the beach everyone took a nap to save energy for the saturday night festivities. What festivities would that be? Well anyone who knows me that well understands that festivities, when translated to chicoenese, means party. So we all got dressed up and hit the auckland clubs. Definitely fun, thats all im going to say about that e-mail me for details. Well I definitely miss everyone back home so I hope you all are doing well. Those of you going to stevenson fitness get excited for the new gym. The new website looks amazing!!! Chris who is the girl on the front page? Anyways have a great everyone i'll be back on next week!!
