Just a quick drop in to let you know that I'm still alive, and have in fact survived my first semester of University I handed in my last essay tonight. I do have my performance assessment still to come, but I figure I'm allowed a day or so of celebration before I start really worrying about that.
Anyhow, end of semester means holidays shall soon be upon us, and I plan to make a serious dent in my message inbox. Bear with me

Look at my awesome icon/avatar made especially for me by rubiks-cube040
Love you B!!!

We've had so much happen since October. Final exams, I've finished high school, it's been Christmas and New Year, and Christchurch is rocking and rolling once again.

I have just, however, hosted my friends movie night at my place, and now have rubiks-cube040 and two male friends crashing in my living room with me. I feel like a big kid now
My point being that I'm far too tired to type up a full journal like I would usually try to do for all of my lovely friendlings.

I am working through my inbox slowly, but I'm sitting on about 1300 messages at the moment... And I've actually been reading books these holidays. Just this last week I've read 3 entire books, totally unrelated to school in anyway

Love you all, hope everyone had a lovely Christmas break, enjoyed their New Year, and is just all-round doing well

Hi everyone
Wow, I haven't updated this journal since the quakes in June. Goodness me. Actually, though there certainly hasn't been any big ones since then, they're certainly still going on. Just this last week, there have been frequent aftershocks, ranging from about 3.1 to 4.2, though they all feel much stronger, as they've been centred over our side of town this time. *UPDATE* While I was typing, there was a 4.8. For pity's sake Mother Nature.

But, in other news: firstly... WOW!!! Over 10,000 pageviews Thank you so much everyone, I feel so special. I can't believe that nearly 10,000 people have looked at my page. I know some of them are people visiting more than once, but those people are even more special! I love you all

Since June, we've had the Formal ( ) and prelims ( ) and our school Performing Arts Showcase ( :stress: ). But they're over and done with now.

And now, there are only 11 days of high school left for me. Ever. Which is really quite scary. Not that I'm not looking forward to Uni, but I'll miss high school something chronic. And so many of my friend are moving away to Uni

But, before then, we have such exciting things as: Receiving our Leavers Hoodies, Receiving our Leavers Books (once we finish them...), attending the Leavers Dinner (for yr 13s and teachers), the Prefect lunch (which I'm invited to, even though I'm not a Prefect. Apparently I'm considered an honourary prefect, since I help them and do so much work for them *warm fuzzies* ), and the leavers breakfast, for yr 13s and parents, AND our Leavers Assembly, which is run for us yr 13s, by us yr 13s So, much fun and happy times. (There are exams after that, but we won't think about those just yet).

Oh, also... IT'S HOLIDAYS!!!!

How is everyone?

*My mum has a blood clot, sitting just out of her brain. She's doing fine at the moment, feels completely fine, but the clot is just sitting there, despite the drs starting her on bloodthinners. We just have to hope it doesn't move.

*UPDATE* They've upped the magnitude of yesterday's quakes, to a 5.6 and 6.3, respectively. Which I believe makes the first, the 5.6, the third biggest aftershock since the 7.1 in September, and the 6.3, the same magnitude as the devastating Feb 22nd quake. It's an absolute miracle that there have been no fatalities reported. Power has been restored to 93% of homes, and they're hoping to get 98% by this evening. Water is once again an issue, but tankers have been organised for the affected areas. The council is doing a fantastic job. Schools etc have been closed today, but, over my side of town, we're hoping to be back tomorrow, but we don't know yet. *END UPDATE*

They hit us again. A 5.5, and then a 6.0, within an hour and half of each other. Again, it's affected the East side of town more that the west (where I live). No fatalities reported. more damage.

Seriously, Christchurch can't take much more of this.
