Hello all!
Well the last week was full of classes, meetings, and the like. Philosophy is driving me quite insane: if anyone wants to discuss moral theory and/or animal rights, I'm ready. Psychology has provided more than the usual amount of interesting material: I was really rather shocked to see how many people in my psych class claimed (in response to a query from our lecturer) to believe that George W. Bush either planned or was aware of plans for the September 11th attacks before they happened. It was probably 1/3 to 1/2 the 300 people in the lecture.
In other kiwi news, the legislature here has been debating the controversial "smacking bill" which would basically prohibit all physical punishment of children. I think the idea is to make it harder to get away with serious child abuse, but needless to say it's causing a lot of controversy.
Socially, there have been rock concerts, dances, Charmed marathons . . . life is good.
Kiwi lesson of the week:
Anything you ever hear is from Australia was probably in reality stolen from New Zealand. (e.g. Russell Crowe *before he started assaulting people with telephones)
until next time

Hey Emily, My PL classes are pretty crazy also. Lots of deep thinking and crazy topics that you never thought you would think that hard about. My Psych class is pretty interesting also. My teacher is retired from the CIA so he has lots of very very interesting stories for us. Hope you're having lots of fun and meeting lots of cool new people.
