living life...

Hi there,
some short news from Auckland...My Dad left yesterday again so Liuba and me have to start cooking again:-)no fabolous dinners in Brasilian restaurants anymore;-)
We also went to a very cute French restaurant with very cute waiters wis a very nise french accent:-)...loved it there and I guess we'll go there again one day...
At the moment Liuba and me are quite salsa fanatic and I'm dancing quite a lot because the congress is coming closer and closer and we're also arranging out trip to Wellington. Liubi decided to join me so we're figuyring out how and with whom we get to Wellington how long we stay etc etc...After the easter weekend there is also the mid semester break coming up and we still don't know what we really want to do or where to go. We just decided we'll do skydiving and since the weather is getting worse and worse we'll have to do it soooon!!!
The university is going quite ok...lots of things to do mostly quite boring but it needs to be done because we get grades for this and the lectures are just broing because the lecturers just explain what's in the textbook in a very lame ppt!!!My only course which I really enjoy is the toursim course because it's very interactive and we can write logs do assignments that we can pick ourselves so we have to put soemthing in to get soemthing out I like that and I enjoy parts of the strategic thinking for managers but only parts because it's a a management game with a lot of figures and a lot of numbers which I don't like but the other part of the class is called critical thinking and I just love to discuss with the teacher or ask nice questions:-)
We also needed to hand in teh first assignments it was all a bit of a rush because when my dad was here I didn't take muchtime for studying so now it's catch up time...
Liubi and me also need to take our chance and try the whale and dolphin tour again my Dad was lucky teh second time he saw them...he advised us to swim with them as well we'll see what we can do...
For the rest some things went also wrong:-) I had to change my dancepartner for the third time now and I fell trying to do a backflip so I'm covered all over the place with nice bruises of all colours and we got a small idea that we got ripped off buying our car because it didn't start anymore yesterday but the day after it just did...I don't know what's wrong with it we thought it might have been the battery so when it started I went to drive it for an hour so that the battery could recharge again a bit...since that time it works so keep your fingers crossed it stays like this!!!
I guess that was it for now...have to go to class soon we'll have a guest lecture on intercultural communication today from the woman who wrotethe book we are using during class...
Keep in touch!!!Miss you:-*
