LOL yeah! If I ever get in the car with her again I'm going to shove cushions in my clothing and wear protective head gear.

...and then she BOOTED it, we went flying backwards and we were both like AHHH and she slammed on the breaks and started cracking up laughing even though she almost crashed my car. Was SO funny but never again am I teaching her how to drive.

Is it still snowing there, or?

I know people who know people who are missing still (assumed dead by now unfortunately) but don't know anyone personally, thank God. I've just been attached to the TV since Tuesday. It's just not looking hopeful aye... No one has been rescued since Wednesday and it's Friday now. And even so, 70 people have been rescued but ~230 people still missing. Death toll stands at 113 now.

Yeah it's alright.. haha, another trimester of hard work and 6am wake ups!

Oo learning to drive aye! How's it going? I've had my license for like.. going on two years now, tried teaching my sister how to drive in my car and she was so scared so I was like "omg no it's so easy, just put the key in the ignition, turn it, push a few things, you're done", so she hopped in my car and started it, took the handbrake off, put my car in reverse...

o hey hey.

WELL, ever since yesterday I've been feeling down - the Christchurch earthquake has just absolutely SHOCKED the whole of New Zealand. It's unbelievably sad, some scenes look like 9/11 with all the buildings down. Hundreds missing, over 100 dead no doubt (official death toll at the moment is 75). NZ is a small country, we will all know someone affected.

And besides the earthquake, I'm about to start my third year at uni next week so ugh it's going to be hard getting up super early in the mornings now since I've been sleeping in since November.

How've you been/what you been doing?

Rawr.

Ah I pictured you as someone named Matt somehow, awesome!

No we do get snow, but mainly in the south island, I'm in the north. Where I live, this particular place, we never get snow though.

Yeah I heard about how the US was getting snow in irregular places. The weather is just playing up everywhere - Australia, Brazil, US, NZ, etc. We're having cyclones travelling towards us right now, well one hit the other day while I was on the beach with my mate LOL and literally caused a mini sand storm, had sand in my eyes and shoes and mouth.

Yep, I never really use the same name twice and I chose that for my stay here, decided it wasn't really the best name, looks too..leetish? My name is more simpler! Wait.. what is your name?

Nah I had never seen a snow plow in my life until I arrived in Italy.

How was your new years celebration?! I'm in LA currently and spent it in Disneyland!!! Was so unbelievably PACKED but so unbelievably AWESOME.

Yes, in NZ, however I'm in Italy right now and celebrated with my sister's host family that she lived with while she lived over here. Had a traditional Italian Christmas.
In NZ we pretty much have no traditions, unlike the one I had this year, and you can hardly see the Christmas spirit, like hardly any lights, etc. It's summer whenever it's Christmas so a little different than the typical Christmas you see in movies where it's always snowing!
We usually have a Christmas dinner or lunch and exchange gifts but that's really it.
