  1. Fingers crossed

    June 22, 2010 by Stephanie

    Finally! After nearly three months in Christchurch (it will be three months on Friday), I finally have a job interview!

    Tomorrow at 2.30pm. I have my fingers crossed and my toes too. I just hope it goes well.


  2. Dammit

    Guess who has a kind of dead laptop?

    That’s right.

    Me.

    At the moment, I’m on my flatmate’s Mac checking everything I check every day. I can’t afford to either get my laptop seen to or get a new one so this will have to do. But one thins is for sure. I want to rescue stuff off the hard drive this time!

    Stupid piece of shit Dell.


  3. Turning into a night owl

    June 4, 2010 by Stephanie

    Over the past few weeks, I’ve been turning into a night owl. Before, 1am would be about my limit when it came to going to sleep but now…

    Honestly, I could be up all night now. I’m making myself go to sleep at around 4am even though I only feel slightly tired and taking my usual 8 or so hours sleep into account, this now means I’m waking up around lunchtime. I play the Sims on my laptop, watch DVDs on my laptop and surf the net just to try to get tired enough to want to go to sleep. I could read in bed but I don’t want to leave my light on to all hours of the night/morning.

    When I was in high school, if I had a late night, I’d be awake around 7am regardless. There was one time in my final year of high school where I went to bed at 5.30am on a Monday morning (because I’d been up watching a live sporting event) and got up at 7am to go to school. I had that one and a half hours sleep because I thought if I didn’t, I’d fall asleep during school. I did pay for it in that I looked extremely tired but I went to bed at my normal time that night.

    I don’t know why I’ve turned into a night owl. There could be an underlying issue behind it which would mean a trip to the doctors but I can’t afford that because of a double blow on my unemployment benefit. Hell, I can’t afford to do anything unless I find a job and soon. Once my share of the rent is paid, what money I do have left goes either towards my share of the flat bills, my own bills, food and treats for myself. Then I feel bad for having to decide whether I’m warm or I should eat. I probably should go to WINZ again and tell them what the story is. At the moment, I’m worse off than what I was in Invercargill (and working too) and I’m finding myself questioning why I’m here. Not necessarily why I’m living where I am now but I’m wondering what my true purpose is.

    I’m weird. I’m an Aquarian after all.
