Sad news =( Well, not just sad... ^^

Hey guys!

How are you?

Well, over here it's not too bad but I have got a huge sunburn on my back and even a sort of bubbles on my shoulders. I think I will have to go to the doctor's with that because it hurts so much! =(

But otherwise, everything is sorta fine and the weather is still nice. However, I cannot really enjoy this ...

So, I booked my trip during term holidays now and I will be away from April 17th to May 1st! This trip is certainly gonna be awesome and I am really looking forward to it.
I will take the plane to Auckland on April 16th then and on my way back, I'll catch my flight down in Queenstown via Christchurch to Nelson (if you like to look it up on a map, you're more than invited!).
The flights cost between 140 and 165 New Zealand Dollars which is about half in Euros. That's quite good though.

I also booked my flights for Australia and we'll be going from Nelson via Christchurch and Sydney to Brisbane, Queensland. =) I hope that this will be fine as well but I am quite sure about this. The flights cost $516 (= ca. 255 Euro) - ALTOGETHER!!! That's so great...
My final journey back to Germany will then be:

Nelson-Christchurch-Sydney-Brisbane-Singapore-Frankfurt-Paderborn !!! =) Well, a long break in Brisbane included... ^^

We just came back from a trip with New Zealand Studies and we learnt some more facts about Nelson History which was quite interesting tough. We were told about Nelson Jail where some men were hung and that some people say they've seen shadows rushing through the buildings around midnight. ^^ And one girl died in Nelson Girls' College quite some time ago and a builder saw her ghost, dressed up in the early school uniform. He told her that she couldn't disturb him and right in front of his eyes, she is said to have vanished. =P
I don't know whether we should believe it or not but it's a quite nice story, don't you think?

So, I have got Lunchbreak now and I will go and have some food as I am quite hungry right now. Then, I will have another two lessons - English and Health Promotion.
I"ll just see how it goes - in Health I got an "Achieved with Excellence" which I really didn't expect because it is the subject I would consider most difficult for Exchange Students or in general for people who don't speak English as their mother tongue. So, I am quite glad about that! =)

Ok then, gotta go!

I'll catch up with you guys later on!

Have a great time and be happy about not having this awful sunburn!

Chris...tian =)
