Every week I meet more amazing scholars. The first semester is almost ending and I'm looking forward to a brief break and coming back for the second semester where I will be sitting in on other courses in Māori studies. Because we are on opposite sides of the world, the UoA school year and other schools begin in February much like we start in August/September in the USA. Your summer is our winter so we are on an opposite schedule school-wise. I will let you know what courses I will be sitting in on soon! Be sure to ask me for an update!
