ChCh weekend

This weekend I actually stayed in Christchurch. No adventures to be had. The ski conditions are pretty rough right now so I didn't go skiing at all either.
Thurs night I went to the pool with the kayak club to try to learn how to roll. Being that it was my first time I didn't get it in the hour time we had. I did get pretty close. I will go again sometime this week and maybe ill get it. Either way I had a blast and my instructor was real chill.

Fri. night there was a Canterbury rugby match. My 2 flatmates and I went to the game. Canterbury destroyed Waikato so it was a pretty good match. We met up with 2 of my friends from australearn that go to lincon. Went to my flat after the game for some beverages and a quality fri evening.

Sat. I slept in real late which felt great. It was an awful rainy cold day. Tried to work on some homework but just kinda messed around all day. Sat. night was my mate from ski club 21st brithday. Went to his house for a party. Not tons of people but enough. He also had his family there casue 21st is a big even in NZ. It was really nice. My friend Garrett came with me to the party. He left early though. I don't think there were any other americans there. It was tons of fun and I met tons of people. Ended up catching a ride home with some random people which was good becsue the busses had stopped running. It was a real good night.

Sun. I just woke up late again. Again tried to work on homework but was pretty unpoductive. Did go to watch a soccer game which was cool, although it was still cold and wet out.

This week I need to get my assigments finished up before spring break next week. I have started to make some plans for spring break. Going to wanaka for the first 4 nights, then to queenstown for 3 nights. Then to the west coast for a bit of time. We have 2 weeks off so it should be real chill. Just gonna take it easy and get some time on the mountains skiing. Hoping to get out skydiving on the west coast. I'm going with Garrett, Geoff ( an australearner), and Marc (Garrett's flatmate). Should be a good group of people to travel with.

Ohh I think I found something that maybe an option for me once school ends.
