Another visit with Roger, and I walked away with my last (well, for the time being at least *g*) tattoo after only a bit over half an hour’s work:

I’m so happy with it, it’s the perfect commemoration of New Zealand. It’s a kirituhi (a Maori-style tattoo, but not a proper moko), a koru, symbolizing “life, growth, strength and peace”. It’s also a feminine symbol and can be seen as a mother and child. Pretty perfect for me, I feel.

Updated my blog – you can now look at my travel photos directly here on the site, without having to go to Flickr. A proper update will follow tomorrow, I promise.

Really relieved I survived the two exams this week. Not sure at all how I did – I’m thinking ‘middling’ and hoping for ‘okay’. Now I have a week until the next one, which will be the last exam ever in my university career! I have some stuff to do until then (like get my student visa changed into a tourist one for July), but I should have plenty of time to study.

Much more fun: I bought my VicU souvenir, and it’s even better than the teddy bear I’d seen before – it’s a kiwi bird, in full regalia, wearing the orange hood for Commerce postgrad students. So this is what I would have looked like if I’d been able to stay for my graduation ceremony in December:

Yay!
