(no subject)
So from the last entry I posted "I guess that is about it really, my life hasn't been much more than a combination of work, study and sleep lately." It really wasn't a complaint.
Big Earthquake last weekend has resulted in a lot less sleep, and uni is post phoned so also less study.
I no longer know when my exams are since they kept getting moved, my assignments are now due two weeks later than they were which is actually more confusing than it sounds and the group assignment we agreed to do on the forums has hit a wall with at least one of the group not having internet access since the quake, and the other 3 just not posting anything at all (I am fairly sure one, possibly two of them were away for the earthquake.
The continual aftershocks have been more stressful than the initial quake which I was very tempted to stay in bed for. The worst damage here is a couple of small dents in the wall from where my bookcase fell over, but I guess that will teach me for having it in the middle of the room where it wasn't all that stable in non shaky times (It is currently tucked sideways up against the wall, Its not that wide so it works).
Work was still on, I was expecting a big mess of components all over the floor but for the most part stuff there stayed where it was supposed to as well. I can't really claim I got much work done though, and on Tuesday I completely forgot to do the wages even though it is usually the first thing I do. That meant I still had to go in on Wednesday after the nasty 5.1 wake up call, but again I wasn't feeling all that productive so I did the wages and left at lunchtime, I really preferred to not be over that side of town while things were shaking since it seems to already have more damage.
I have spoken to mum a few times this week, she was really worried, she told me a few things about the Edgecumbe earthquake I didn't remember, and I told her the bits I did, it turned out that I had never actually told her what happened during the quake (I was on a school trip) I just gave small random comments occasionally, I also quite literally didn't come out from under the table, I played under there, and slept under there, if I was out, I was within 2 feet of the table and the first one back under if the world started shaking again. Now I am bigger and we don't own a table. Also I think I might be a little desensitised, although I am moveing towards doorframes for the larger ones.
I am also moving this Saturday, I am not really sure how I feel about that at this point, I still have all the same reasons to move and it isn't where I am moving to, its just another big thing on top of the rest. Plus this week the neighbours started talking alot more or just waving which is nice, and I will be like an invader to one of those groups somewhere else. I also kind of feel bad about moving by choice when others have to.
I am still undecided if I will go down to Kims next week since uni is off, she is working so I would still be by myself, plus it is kind of mean to the cat to move her to a new place, then just leave her while I go away, or even to take her with me.
At least I got a decsent nights sleep last night, and a mostly decsent on the night before.
