Time-out... change of plans

My paperwork took longer than expected to arrive in Auckland, so in fear of not having time to get a visa, I am flip-flopping the itinerary.  My admission to the University of Auckland's postgraduate certificate program in Public Health- Environmental Health will be deferred to Semester 2 on the Grafton Campus.  After arriving in Auckland on February 15th, I will chill for a few days then jet-set down to Queenstown where I'll live and work with my friends Lauren and Katie!  They were the original inspirations for looking into New Zealand, so I am ecstatic to join them in one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

Visa app is in, so all that's left is to tie up some loose ends, change addresses,  fit 6 months of clothes in my backpack, catch flights on time (knock on wood), and catch up with all my best friends before leaving :) oh and break the news to my parents... Wish me luck...

XO!
