quick notes on the nz front:

1. i leave in 15 days. insane

2. i don't have all the money yet, but i will. righteous

3. i bought health insurance, but i am anxiously awaiting my policy cards. they better get here quick or will not be allowed in the country. for real

4. i have registered with 8 different job agencies. i hope i find one pretty quickly. preferably in wellington.

5. i have been in contact with this dude named sebastian at wingnut films, and i might have an opportunity to work on the hobbit movie. how sweet is that? he is keeping my c/v on file, and he is letting me know as soon as he does where and when they will need me. how tubular would that be to be apart of a project of that magnitude. i hope it works out.

6. i can't sleep at night anymore. my brain literally will not turn off.

7. did i mention i leave in 15 days?

8. over the last month, besides europe's its a final countdown, i have always had a flight of the conchords song in my head. right now it is "if that's what you're into". thanks dan.

9. i have purchased everything i will need for my trip, minus for batteries for my camera.

10. it is looking very likely that i am going to go to grad school in nz. i am planning on applying, but getting in is another story.

11. i am afraid that i am going to be ransacked by tears any day now. it hasn't happened yet, but i am waiting for it. and i bet it is going to rear its ugly head at a very inconvenient time.

12. i hope people come to my party my parents are throwing for me. it looks like it might only be my friend jill, and my parents friends. yay.

13. i want all of you to come visit. especially nicole, bob, charlotte, and ruby.

here's a righteous high five for all you jive turkeys out there,
jewels

(like that shout out, nicole?)
