Helgard Johan Wagener (Buddy to most)

Pleased to meet you all. I was born in South Africa on 22 October 1991, in Johannesburg, but grew up in Cape Town. I have been here in New Zealand since 2006.

University of Auckland

Between my last year at Auckland Boys Grammar and my first year at the University of Auckland, I took a year off to make some decisions - what I wanted to do, where I wanted to be in 5 years,ect. Rather than just moping around, I studied a year-long certificate in hospitality, focusing on bartending. If there is anything I learned from this year off, it is that one can find work anywhere in the world if one has hospo experience.

Currently, I am a 3rd year BSc student, majoring in Biological Sciences/Marine Sciences. It is really interesting but keeping up with the University semester pace is sometimes an ordeal. Additionally, I am not entirely sure what end job to expect and am thinking of doing a second degree in Vet Sciences once this degree is completed. Current papers I am taking this year include:

Summer School

• Compsci 111

First semester

• BIOSCI 333 - Marine Ecology
• BIOSCI 328 - Fisheries and Aquaculture
• BIOSCI 330 - Freshwater and Estuarine Ecology - WAIT LIST
• ENG 121G - Reading/Writing/Text

Second semester

• BIOSCI 329 - Biology of fish
• BIOSCI 335 - Ecological Physiology
• MARINE 302 - Dynamics of Marine Systems
• Undecided 2nd Gen Ed paper - I really want to study either Japanese or Korean this year. However, I would like to start studies as early as possible,not this late in the year.

Interests

1. Boxing/Muay Thai - beginning of 2007, I started boxing. A year ago, I switched to MT. Really fun, but still room for improvement.
2. Marine Biology
3. Anime/Manga - most likely the inspiration for studying Japanese (well, the Japanese girls are really pretty as well XP)
4. Coffee-making/Bartending
5. Computer games - Guildwars 2, LoL, WOW, Assassin's creed series, ect
6. Running
7. Reading
8. Languages and cultures (particularly other cultures' food)
9. Survival craft - Bear Grylls is a boss.
