So it's official, Ryan and I have applied to go on an exchange to Japan next year. Of course, we've only completed the first step; the initial part of the application (and probably the easiest step) - but the point is that we've done it and we're on our way to Japan next year! :D
Our first choice was Kansai University located on Osaka. It has some really cool sounding courses and we both approve of the location. Here's a link to their website (it's in English, don't worry!) http://www.kansai-u.ac.jp/English/about_ku/index.html So keep your fingers crossed we get our first choice! Our other choices were Doshisha University in Kyoto http://cjlc.doshisha.ac.jp/ryugaku/english/about/index.html and Osaka University http://www.osaka-u.ac.jp/en
But we'll just see what happens, won't we.
Just keep your fingers crossed for us!
Ryan and I are also going to apply to do a programme called boobooski in Japan over the Summer (summer here, winter in Japan). It's basically just a working programme in Japan in which you work at a ski resort. Here's a link: http://www.boobooski.com/contactus.html
So yeah, big times for us!
Other than that, uni has once again started (yipee...) so I forsee a whole lot of study in our future. A whole lot of study and probably not much sleep... Good times ahead.

Trips and holidays ending
As of today, the holidays are officially over. Shock, horror!
The holidays comprised of... nothing much! Just as they should. Plenty of good reading for me and video game playing for the ryan-ator. Basically, much relaxation.
But near the very end of the holidays, we got our stuff together and actually did something! We took another bus trip. This time to Island Bay (at dad's suggestion again). It was a lovely day, albeit a bit cold (the wind made my face melt).
We took a nice (cold) walk and had a nice coffee.
It was much fun and good to get out of our routine and do a bit of travelling (within a reasonable budget.
In other news, uni today! Ryan and I headed up early to get our textbooks. Well, textbooks in Ryan's case. Lets just say that combined, we spent just over $300. By myself, I just had to fork out around $40. Leaving the rest to Ryan... Yup, this semester is a cheap one for me! :D
Other things...
Good skies in wellington as of late!
