Catching up...

This seems to be the title of more blog posts than I care to admit to...but here I am again, so far behind that I don't know if I'll be able to catch up on everything or remember everything quite right, but I'll do my very best! I'm sorry that I have gotten so far behind but I was a little behind to begin with and then around the 25th or 26th of January my computer decided to fight with me and then id decided to break! It wasn't very nice of it! Anyway that happened right before we left on our trip for the south island so I decided to ask another host dad who is really good with computers if he would mind looking at it and trying to fix it. He took it for the time that we were on the south island and said he couldn't find anything wrong with it. He brought it back to me and tried to turn it on at our house and the same problems happened, so he decided to look at it again. After further inspection he decided that it was something wrong with my audio card and he would have to look at it a little longer. He took it to some guys at his work and they decided the best plan would be to turn off the audio drive completely and then it would go a little faster when it was turning on and I should be able to use it pretty normally except that I can no longer listen to music on it or watch videos on it or Skype on it because there is no sound...all of which is a big pain, but I can do my school work which I suppose is most important! Sadly with the turning off of the sound drive my usb drives and my SD reader have also been affected so I can't get pictures off of them...it also means that I can't get all of the pictures from my friends that they have on their cameras. So I'll do what I can, but I don't know how many pictures I'll be able to put up for a while so I'll just work on getting the words all up and then you can read and I'll add pictures as soon as I can! I'm sorry for the slow speed, but with being so far behind + starting practicum, working on my online class, and traveling and having a social life (you know searching for that perfect New Zealander husband) I've got a lot on my plate so I'm not sure when I'll be all caught up...thanks for your patience and continued love and support...I always look forward to messages from home as well...I've noticed I haven't gotten many updates since I left so it's not all my fault...love yous!
