Mar. 23rd, 2011 11:05 amSeeing Christchurch still trying to sort itself out and sitting through aftershocks a month on really brought home the kind of thing y'all must be going through in Japan. I think I needed that eye opener. (Working with the Farmy Army made me feel like such a city kid, though!)
Over the weekend my flatmate's family of Queensland refugees finally moved out, and now Mum keeps saying how much she misses having another family around. So does my sister (she doesn't even live here any more! she just liked visiting!). So if any of your families want to evacuate overseas and Australia sounds good, private message me. We can fit about four extra people, and my sister can fit two at her flat.
This weekend I'm driving up to Queensland to help out with some cyclone cleanup. It's lighter work this time so Pukamon can help out as well; the little guy said he felt like he was in the way in Christchurch. I still think setting up the food tables was a vital job but I know what he means.
I'm really glad that work's been so understanding about my wandering off out of state to volunteer. It does mean that I'm getting more hours during the week to make up for my usual weekend shifts but I don't mind too much; the only real problem is that it's taking up the time I'd usually spend on homework. At least I'd already paid for my flights to Florida for the midterm break coming up.
