So tomorrow I begin my big journey through New Zealand and I am super excited. I will be going through eight different cities and I will be checking out what each city has to offer. There was a lot of work put into my whole trip with everything. I had to balance out the time between cities and make sure I could fit in everything.
The week before I left was very hectic with having a lot of work due. I made it through the week but it was a little stressful. In New Zealand they give a couple big papers through the trimester rather than the United States having you write a few small essays for the first half of the semester. There was a lot of writing for the week, and I had to sacrifice some days to put towards my work. But luckily I made it through and I did not have to pull any all nighters.

Through my trip I will be traveling through North Island one week, and the South Island the following week. This will also be the first time that I will stay in a hostel and it will also be the first time that I take the New Zealand public transportation on my own. I am very excited for this opportunity and I am excited to see what the future has in store for me.
