Update

Hi all,

Nearing the end of the first semester of my course with assignment 2 due on the 5th and the final assignment due 26th Feb. New semester starts 19th Feb so theres a little bit of an overlap which might be busy..not sure if the student loan will go thru in time though so may end up havng to put off completing the course until semester 2 this year. Unfortunately the tax man needs to be paid for the next 2 months and we wont be able to pay fees if the student loan doesnt come through. Nevermind - should find out next week about that. If I need to have a break I can spend some time improving my skills anyway so not all is lost.

Trip to England in scheduled for around mid september (we're finally coming Alice!). Im so looking forward to meeting all of Adams family, will be a little nerve-wracking but i'll probably be so jet-lagged from the trip that I wont have the energy to be nervous! Have already told Adam that I'd love to get to Scotland aswell, even if its just for a night as all of the people that have been said it is wonderful and so like NZ. (kind of weird that - you go somewhere else to see something different but you still want to see things that remind you of home!).
