Came to my rescue

I had dinner last night with the most unexpected person-- my agent! She was the one who arranged my visa, helped me find an awesome homestay family, and made sure I felt at home at Christchurch when I first got there.

The other unexpected person who was there for dinner was the marketing manager for Foundation Studies, Chanel. It was a distraction that I badly needed, and I was glad I went that night, as God gave me a few important pointers that night. =P
