Time for a breather!!

I am proud to announce that I just submitted my final assignment for the third year of my yacht design studies! Due to essentially taking six months off when I got here, the past few months has been hard work non stop. There were many a times when I was stressed and worried I wouldn't get it done (very abnormal for me) but its amazing how much the stress disappeared when I got my new job. As the deadline got closer and I was seeming ahead of schedule it got a lot less stressful. I've been trying to still see as much of this country as I can, but its been hard. Now I'm able to make the most of it for my last month or so here.

Due to my homework I'm a little behind on keeping you updated. Sean's parent's bought a house up north and we went to see it a few weekends ago. It had an absolutely amazing view and we had a great trip. The first day we went on a hike with Sean's brother and saw some great views. The next day on our way home we went to a ropes course and had an absolute blast. There were a ton of ziplines (called flying foxes here) and a good variety of challenges. There was even a tarzan swing that the boys really enjoyed.

Last weekend Sean very nervously let me cut his hair. Fortunately it actually turned out quite well. I'm constantly finding things I wished I could fix, but overall I'm pleased. See the results below.

Since then its pretty much been all homework. The amount of design related stuff I am getting to do at work seems to be increasing, so I am excited about that.

Now that my homework is done I'm going to start focusing on applying for a visa. I have no idea how easy it will be, so we will see.

And I saved the best for last. Happy Birthday to my amazing sister and Happy Father's Day to the best dad I could ask for!!!
