thanks from me and on behalf of Melissa, i don't know who is more excited me or Melissa lol.

She is keen to find a cure for these awful diseases we still have,would be amazing if she did, but time will tell, let us hope she does actually enjoy this degree, she can change to another if necessary.

Yes Miss Z, we are so fortunate, to live so close, it has it's pitfalls though, too many parties and antics in my area, ok when you are young, but not so tolerable at our age lol, it took some time for her to actually be persuaded to go to the Waikato University, she was looking at the bottom of NZ at one stage, and auckland which is two hours away, but much more expensive to live,it seemed such a shame to have it on your back doorstep and not take advantage, common sense in the end prevailed.

This degree was not her first choice really, but i think she is more than happy with it now, and it seems to be probably the only one with the paid work experience, which in my book is a real added plus.

yes fingers crossed she enjoys her university life, the hours are pretty good, though, better than school, so that is another plus.
