Here is an article (in Norwegian) about the student who went to New Zealand, and quote: "fell in love with more than just the green islands."

Life at 6 months

First of all, and for my records, today I have had my temporary residency for exactly 6 months. This is strange and so awesome! It is awesome because it means I have not actually thought much about visas and expiration dates and moving for such a long time. Instead, this means I have been spending much of my time studying, and here are some photos that have been snapped while preparing for the upcoming data collection. Also, on the sheep side of life, another lamb was born yesterday at the farm. We like to call him Koura Tipua (Golden Giant).

A day was spent reading speed gun manuals and charging batteries.

The material box, which sat so empty for a long time is definitely filling up. Almost time for data collection! 

Starting on the last half of B-semester!

Date-Break in the University Library 

Before this year started, we braced ourselves for what we would later refer to "the year of the married students". Six weeks before my husband reaches his finish line at the university, we are starting to feel the strange blend of excitement, nerves, and really a lot of tiredness. Some reflections at this point. Though busy, and poor, 2013, the year of the married students, has insofar been a happy year. Though, there have been many normal and perhaps uneventful everyday-days, we have been given pleasure in many of them, to which we are so very grateful. Today, spring commenced here in NZ - a little friendly reminder that after winter spring does indeed come!
