It goes up and down. And so do I. School has been hard of late. There’s a lot of work and it seems neverending. The next six weeks are going to be very busy. Particularly because the elective I have chosen has a very high workload compared to my other classes, and my parents are coming for a visit in the trimester break so I have to finish most assignments before the deadlines.

But I’m still enjoying living in Wellington, especially now that summer is not so far away. It’s so easy to be close to the ocean, and there are so many great walks so close to home.

This photo is from Lyall Bay. I have never seen a rainbow that didn’t disappear behind something. It was amazing. It’s from a few weeks back but it’s rainbow season now. Sunny, rainy, windy, sunny, windy, rainy, sunny. It’s not so bad really.

What is bad is spending 12 hour stints in the computer lab at school working on assignments. Many of my Saturday nights are spent like this. Eurgh. At least it’s temporary. Just something I have to get through.

And there is a sense of achievement in getting things done. It’s good to know that I am capable of knuckling down to do academic work. It’s always been so painful in the past.

So, deep breath and into the next six weeks I go. Full steam ahead.
