Waiting with anticipation

My friends are all ready to return to school or are about to go abroad themselves, while I am sitting and waiting for February to come. There are a few or many things that I need and want to do before leaving. I want to go skiing, but I need to go to the bank, doctors and dentist appointments, search and apply for summer internships (slim pickings since I don't get home until the end of June), make a packing list, shop for what I don't have, and learn to cook some recipes.  And of course I procrastinate it all!

I am most nervous about cooking while in New Zealand, I have not had the best cooking experiences and I really do not like it.  I hope that I have a flatmate that enjoys cooking and can teach me a few things.  However, this will be very good experience for my senior year at Denison.

I also need to find one more course to take at the University of Otago as I was not pre-approved for one. So far the courses I am taking are: Music in Popular Culture, Environmental History of New Zealand, and Sensation and Perception.  I am hoping to find a biology or neuroscience related course that I meet all the prerequisites for.

I hope time passes quickly! (I'm sure I will want time to slow down the night before departure)
