Afterward we got frozen cokes at McDonald's, got Indian takeaway with Stephen and ate it at Stephen's place. We ended up watching an episode of "Friends" and then decided to watch the famous and popular New Zealand movie "Once Were Warriors." It's one of the best NZ movies (all the kiwis say it's worth seeing) and they are all very proud of it. It's about a Maori and their struggles with violence, poverty and coming to terms with their heritage. It's extremely violent and disturbing to watch but very well made. I can understand why all the kiwis are proud of it because it really is a good movie, but I don't think that I would recommend this movie to people because of how intense it was to watch. It's something you sort of have to decide on your own to see, not something you'd seek out with friends.
After that we were all a little shaken up so we watched "Little Miss Sunshine" to calm our nerves.
Wednesday I spent the majority of the day (although it was also fairly nice out) inside working on homework. Chris suggested we see a movie as a study break so we saw "I love you, man" in theaters and then got pizza at a place called "Scopra." When I got home I spent the rest of the night writing my paper and then the better half of this morning writing and finishing it as well.
It's cloudless and wonderful outside right now so I'm meeting up with Chris for some lunch and then we'll see where the day takes me!
Check out those snow capped mountains!
