Well the snow came, and heavy. By the TV Christchurch got it worse, but I’m not sure. I think the focus there was because of all the earthquakes. And yeah, even if Dunedin got a lot of snow it wasn’t like we had to walk out to the pavement to use a portaloo in the middle of a snow-filled night.… (more…)
My sleep pattern has been a bit fucked up lately. I still get enough sleep but I’m sleeping from about 4am until midday. It’s annoying, but not a major inconvenience. But the last couple of days I needed to get out of the house for early(ish) appointments. So I had to be out of bed by 8am, and when you… (more…)
I’m sick so this is all disjointed. I’m not very good at starting and building friendships, but I am very good at ending them. There is a lot I will put up with, I will often put up with too much, but then there comes a point when I say no more. When I reach that limit nothing will change… (more…)
It’s so friggin cold. If we end up getting the snow they are forecasting for the end of the week I’ll be tempted in setting myself up in bed for a couple of days just so I can feel warm. But of course, that’s not as good in practice as in theory. My back hates being in bed, it complains… (more…)
I feel windblown and exhausted. I had to get up early this morning, and then there was a lot of walking in icy cold blustery wind. The interview with the Year Seven Dean went really well. It was odd being at my old intermediate school. There were some small changes, but mostly its just the same as I remembered it,… (more…)
I realised today how much I am still affected by the whole anxiety/agoraphobia/whatever issue. I now leave my house a lot more than I used to, so it seemed like I was getting it under control. But today I realised that a big part of that is illusionary. I go with a routine. When I leave, 99% of the time… (more…)
Just spent some time organising for the school visit, and now I’m pretty sure all the printing out I did yesterday is wasted. Yes people, I printed out the first draft of the ethics forms, which is not the approved version, so I am going to have to redo them, and I can’t find the approved version, so I have… (more…)
Fuck, what a day. It was all school stuff though. My supervisor is away on a conference in Melbourne so she didn’t print out my ethics stuff. Fine, I thought she might have had an issue with it, so I was planning on doing it myself, that’s why I went down so early. However, because she was gone I didn’t… (more…)
Why did my mother and grandmother abuse me? Because they wanted to.
I’ve always been confident in my ability to budget. I’ve learnt well to live off next to nothing. It’s not easy and it’s definitely not fun. I can’t remember the last time I truly treated myself, and even when buying extras they have been essentials. Like the money spent on clothing, it wasn’t for fun it was because of school.… (more…)
