Just to give you an idea here's what my typical week looks like when I'm in Christchurch.
Monday: 2 classes from 11-4, relax, cook dinner, get organized for the week, relax/hang out with friends/do whatever I want because I don't have class the next day
Tuesday: sleep in, no class, go grocery shopping, maybe do some laundry, do my online quiz due Wednesday, maybe some homework, take my time cooking a nice big dinner, relax, hang out
Wednesday: sleep in, maybe some homework, class from 3-5, dinner, whatever, LOST at Julie's at 9:30 (unfortunately NZ is behind a few episodes), bed at a decent hour
Thursday: class from 9-11, nap, homework/chill/beach/whatever because i have nothing the rest of the day, dinner, bed at decent hour
Friday: class 10-12, maybe nap, whatever, cook a big dinner, start celebrating the weekend in our flat or a friend's flat, sometimes dinner number 2 thank to Emir anywhere between 1 and 4 am, or lay low watch a movie and hang out
Saturday: hangin out, grocery shopping, maybe go into christchurch or Riccarton Mall, watch a movie, have people over to our flat, catch the bus into town, go to SOL Square (bar/club central in Chch) dance the night away, come home, dinner number 2 complements of Emir
Sunday: sleep in, relax, online quiz due Monday, maybe some work, relax
As you can see life in NZ is really chill and all about relaxation and enjoying time spent with friends with some occasional work. Honestly Kiwis and Aussies are the most relaxed people ever, it's awesome. As for all my relaxation and chill time this is what i typical do/do with friends: watch movies, watch Planet Earth, download music and movies on the hub for free, personal reading, just hanging out with friends, write, organize, cooking,whatever sounds appealing.
Sidenote: My grades don't transfer back to Geneseo, only the credits. Not that that means I'm going to take the Kiwi attitude and calculate my grade to figure out the minimum grade i need on tests to pass but it's sweet not having the additional pressure of grades.
