So, I did not write about my last couple of weeks (I guess it ended up being about a month oops!) but that was not because it was not amazing. My mother and grandmother visited me in Christchurch and then we completed a road trip from Timaru to Lake Tekapo (stopping in Fairly for the most AMAZING pies!) to Mt. Cook/Aoraki, and then back up to Christchurch via Waimate. We had an unbelievable time. I also just assumed that only my parents read this, so I did not feel a need to write about it.

I flew back to Auckland for my final weeks where I accomplished numerous things like parallel parking on the other side of the road, making croissants and homemade granola, and finally enjoying my time with my Auckland family. I finished my trip with a bang, trekking the Tongariro Crossing on Anzac Day, all 24.5km of hilly shale. The Emerald Lakes were stunning and Scott's and my desperate attempt to make the early bus by jogging the last 3km was exhilarating.

Anyway, it is good to be home for a bit before heading out on my next big adventure: MED SCHOOL!
