Environmental Lit and Study Week

Students are chillin' out after a week of intense backpacking and travel about New Zealand. We had term break this last week, and most of the students broke off into small groups Some went to South Island, some stayed on the North, and some were lucky to visit friends.

Now about eight students are back at it in class this week studying Environmental Lit. I love it; I sat in on class the first day to listen to Robert Frost and Emily Dickenson poems while students discussed meaning. The rest of the students are either working on independent studies, playing guitar and singing (Abe), getting outside to play volleyball in the wind, or still traveling about. With the pace of this week's class times, the time "off" for the students not taking the Environmental Lit. elective, it looks like it's gonna round out to be a more relaxing week. Love and greetings to our friends and families back at home!
