Labour Weekend

Hey Team – it’s been a couple more days and a long weekend, so I guess I’m about ready to give an update. I managed to get hold of tickets to a California vs. Tennessee football game, which was slightly spoiled by the people in front of me. I had a lovely old lady behind me who couldn’t stand...

The First Week

Dear Team So much has happened over the last few days! On Sunday I had an exciting game of soccer (which lasted for two hours!) with some amazingly good European students. The pitch was terrible because the Americans don’t play soccer in a big way, but we pressed on and it was a lot of fun....

Weekend

Gosh, textbooks are expensive. I bought enough of them today to fill a library and that was only for two of my five papers! I am feeling very overwhelmed at the moment, because Massey told me to take a minimum of 16 units (which is four more than recommended) and then the American army...

End of the First Week (Almost)

It has been another two days since my last post, and so much has happened that I can't possibly tell you everything. I'll try to keep the interesting stuff, but I'll probably ramble, so stick with me and I'll ty to be brief. The Cal Berkeley library is magnificent. It's all gleaming marble...

First Days at Berkeley

It has been two days since my last post, and I am still not fully onto American time. This is probably due to the (relatively) long day (the sun sets at 8 o clock) and my body is used to the sun setting at about 5. I love America. This place is awesome. I live in a hostel with about 50 other...

Finally!

I am stuffed so I will make this quick. Dad's apartment was very cool, and his workmates are fantastic. It was a bit of a pity - Mum spent ages with me at the airport and I felt very loved as I stepped on the plane to Auckland, but Dad got a business call and sort-of forgot that he wouldn't...
