Work has however taken a back seat recently to some massive Selwyn weekends. A favourite of mine, the 21sters ball was again an amazing event, everyone all dressed up and heading off to Larnach Castle for what was an incredible evening, followed by a truly awesome (in the real meaning of the word) night in town. A massive congratulations to all involved in its planning.

As with every event, 21sters was different as a returner, something made even more obvious by the weather- while last year it was strangely clear, this year Dunedin gave us the other extreme- an unbelievable hail storm that covered the ground (which made for an interesting combination with heels) followed by an (albeit brief) episode of snow!

In altogether less joyful news, there is blossom on the pear tree. Literally this means that we have something nice to walk past on the way to the dining room, but it means something altogether more sinister... As we were told last year, if you haven't started studying for full year papers by the time the pear tree blossoms, you should be worried. The aforementioned deck-sitting means I am, in a few words, a little worried. Speaking of, pathology study awaits me. Eek.
