God & Nature week 1 & planning for 10-day!

This past weekend I cut my bangs. They were so long and I liked them shorter. But I kept cutting and cutting them – now I have legit bangs! Lol. I haven’t had them this short since like 3rd grade. I kind like them though. It’s something different.

This God and Nature class has been really interesting so far. It’s covering a lot of what I’ve gone over in Christian Doctrine and OT and NT classes from Westmont, and some bioethics too. But I like learning it from a new perspective. And it’s always stimulating – we get some good conversations going sometimes.

This whole week has been kind of a blur for me. There’s a lot of reading and homework for this class, so that makes the days go by quickly. And on top of that, we’re finalizing plans for our 10-day break that starts on Friday!

So for our 10-day, we were going to go to Sydney, Australia, which would have been AMAZING, but it was too expensive. So we opted instead to travel the South Island of New Zealand. Anela, Nissi, and I are renting a campervan for 8 nights and we’re road-tripping it all along the West Coast, down to the fjordlands on the Southern tip, then driving up the East Coast back here. We’re planning on going skydiving – we HOPE we can, but we don’t know if the weather will be good enough for us to go. It’s either that or bungee jumping! Then we’re going to Lake Matheson – supposed to be really pretty there. Next we’ll hit up a mini cruise in Milford Sound, then go kayaking in the fjordlands, check out the wildlife in Dunedin, etc. And we’ll be going hiking all over the place. It should be really fun! I’m so excited. :)

p.s. I’m finally getting pictures up guys!! So if you have time, you can go back and look at my old blogs of Samoa. Still working on the last few days, but I’ll have the rest of the pics up soon! Thanks for your patience. :) I never realize how little time I have to do everything in my life, especially when classes are this fast and crazy.
