The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

> Oh great oracle, who knows that the answer to Life, the Universe and
> Everything is 41.999998753 because the Universe was designed on a
> Pentium, please tell me the answer to my question.
> 
> I have the misfortune to be stuck here in New Zealand with winter coming
> on.  Please reveal to me how I can spend the winter in Hawaii and still
> pass all my University courses.
> 
> Awaiting your answer with great anticipation,
> A poor student with a high course load.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} The solution is simple:
} 
} 1. Find an ftp site in Hawaii, preferably owned by the U.S. military.
} 2. Find a data encryption program; Phil Zimmerman's PGP will do nicely.
} 3. ftp the program to the site in Hawaii. Be sure to send your name and
} address, too.
} 4. Find another ftp site in the former Soviet Union.
} 5. Telnet to the site in Hawaii. From there, telnet out to the site in the
} former Soviet Union.
} 6. ftp the program from the site in Hawaii to the site in the former Soviet
} Union.
} 
} You will be arrested by the U.S. military police, charged with illegally
} exporting munitions, and extradited to beautful Hawaii! While being held in
} prison awaiting your upcoming trial, use the time to study for your
} University courses.
} 
} If you're not back in time for exams (and chances are you won't be),
} transfer all the money in your bank account to the account of a trusted
} classmate (preferably a smart one), in exchange for his taking the tests
} for you.
} 
} You owe the Oracle a binary munition.
