1. My stuff arrived in Christchurch's port - Lyttelton - yesterday and is now going through customs. It should be in my possession by early next week at the latest. I won't have my bike for this weekend's bike ride, but I cannot complain - it took less than 6 weeks to get here.
2. I got the first portion of my permanent residency application in today. This is key because my medical certificate expired (theoretically) today, and if I can get Them to use my certificate, it saves me a lot of time and money, not to mention blood - we all know that is in my best interest. Now, I just need Penn State to send me my transcript and I will be ready to go. I don't plan on staying here forever, but there are definite tax benefits to residency and I get to partake in the socialized national health insurance. Plus, in a couple years, I could get dual citizenship - how cool is that?!?!
3. I have made arrangements for Orli to get here finally. She will be leaving Baltimore on July 28th, so you will have to get any visits to my folks to see her in before the end of July. I cannot wait until she gets here!
