Fishing

This past week was just finals. My philosophy probably went okay while I studied a lot for my only engineering class. Still not sure I passed. I will just have to wait to see what the curve makes it out to be.

 

On Halloween me and a few friends went down to the beach for the night. We didn't go down till late and wanted to have a fire. We really had to search for drift wood but got a small fire going and slept under the ski. I was hoping to get up and watch the sunrise but the 3 hours of sleep the night before studying for that final didn't allow me. Oh well.

 

With those 2 finals out of the way I had time to play. I went and bought my fishing licence. Me and Joe went once last week with plans of a full week this week. We went to the west coast and fished some rivers their. Joe was kind enough to let me barrow a bunch of his gear. The weather on the west coast was wet and raining. It's still pretty early in the season so the fishing wasn't the greatest. I managed to catch 3 trout, all of good size for me but small on NZ fish standards. It was nice weather that day for most of the day. That evening a dog from a near by farm came around and wouldn't leave us alone. He kind of ruined that night fishing with all his splashing. Even when we slept in the tent he was outside whining for us. We came home early because of poor conditions and weather. Its beautiful back here in Christchurch. Might go out and do some more fishing. I lost a few of Joe's lures so I bought some new ones to replace them. Things are mighty expensive here in NZ which is a pain but nothing you can do about it.

 

Next week I just have 2 more finals which should both be easy. Then all my after school plans fell through partly due to my late planning but mostly due to Australearn and STA giving me false information of moving around my plane ticket. I will be home on Nov. 14th. Going to get a job and make enough cash to buy some new skis.

I guess I will just have to enjoy my last few days here and enjoy whatever comes my way over the long winter break I have back home. I will get to do some great skiing on the east coast now.
