April 2003

In my search for information about New Zealand and it's people came accross some information:

"Hmmm....

According to this the average height for New Zealand women is 5' 3" and for men it's 5' 7".

According to this the average height for United States women is 5' 3 3/4" and for men it's 5' 9".

Aspen = 6' 1"

I feel like a freak half the time in the United States. You think the New Zealanders will mind me towering over them?

Hope not."

Unfortunately, the links are now broken... I'm sure there will be more of those - this was 3 years ago.

The funny thing is there were two (male) teachers at the school who towered over me. Otherwise it was pretty much the same as here: I was taller than most but there were those taller than me.

Andy by April 16, 2003 I still had not completed my autobiography. Odd. Looking back I think it was the nerves that kept me from doing it. I knew my paperwork wasn't due for a while yet and I was so afraid of rejection. Procrastination out of fear of rejection. That's not a first... or a last.

April 18, 2003 had me listing some informational links:

"Found some new sites about New Zealand:

Site Number 1

Site Number 2

Site Number 3

Site Number 4"

And finally by April 21, 2003 I had a "finished" copy of my autobiography and just needed approval from the student teaching coordinator for my university.

Move on to MaY2003
