Taking a bite out of the Big Apple...

... and landing up with toothache, literally!! Not sure what it is with my wisdoms and the states but for the second time my one wisdom tooth has chosen America as the place it would like to play up and put me in pain! Luckily i caught the infection before i hit lob-sided chipmunk stage again but it's again been a costly and painful ordeal... for now i get to hang onto the troublesome tooth and the Vicodin will help with the pain ;)

So i've been home from my romantic getaway for 2 weeks now... wow, what a weekend, NYC is an amazing city and being there with Stu was the cherry or was it the apple on top?? :P i'd done all the touristy stuff on my pervious stopover in the city so Stu and I just did a lot of walking and looking. I met his close friend, Dave, which was cool... he's a local so gave us Dave's tour of the city :) on the Saturday night we met up with a few BnA peeps (there were more than 3 BnA members present at the bar so it was an official meetup) including one of the founders, Sean, it was a fun and interesting evening and i landed up drinking Tusker, a Kenyan beer... the closest i could get to a SA beer!


I've finally made a decision on my next move once i'm done here in Florida... i'll be spending the summer (the Northern hemisphere summer) in Zurich with Stu! :) i'm super duper excited and can't wait... the countdown has started, 13 weeks to go!! I've weighed up the pros and cons and the pros won hands down... being there gives Stu and i a chance to build on what is already an awesome relationship, it gives me the opportunity to do some travelling around Europe... something i've been longing to do and it gives me time to study so i can write my last round of exams at the end of the year and finally finish my degree! Have i mentioned i'm very excitied :)

All that's left to do now is convince the Swiss consulate to give me a Schengen visa :)
