Kia Ora!

Yesterday, the current most important dialogue box in my life changed from this...

...to this...

APPROVED!

And this is perhaps the most exciting of all

I've been saying this for the whole year, but

we're definitely

finally

absolutely

100%

and completely

going to New Zealand.

Amazing!

PS my ophthalmology taster week is going amazingly and I love it and I did indirect ophthalmoscopy today and it was the best thing ever and I also watched someone stick several needles and little ports into someone's eye and suck pus out from the front of it today and I did not feel sick. Au contraire, amigos. I felt like, "hell yeah! That is what I want to do when I'm a grown-up!" 

But more on that story later. 

For now, I'm going to go google what kia ora means.
