I'll be finishing up my core classes there, so I'm taking philosophy, theology, history, fine arts, and a social science of some sort. A little bit of everything.

Oh and uh...thanks for the advice from the rest of you. I don't think I'll be able to make it to New Zealand but I REALLY want to go if the opportunity presents itself.
