Exams and Earthquakes.

We felt an earthquake here in Melbourne just a few minutes ago.  It’s our second earthquake in less than two weeks, if I’m not mistaken. Which is ridiculous, because the last earthquake was the first one of that magnitude we’d felt since 2001. I don’t know for sure, but today’s earthquake definitely felt bigger than the last one.

I find it interesting though, that no one really reacted to this one. I mean, last time it happened, the general reaction was:
“THE FLOOR SHOOK?! OHMYGOD THE WORLD IS ENDING!”
This time the reactions were a little more sedate, more along the lines of:
“Haha, yeah, I felt it too.”

We only had one earthquake just a fortnight ago, but already we’re perfectly comfortable with the idea. I find it fascinating how quickly we get accustomed to these things.

What I originally wanted to blog about was that I did my first SAC (School Assesed Coursework) four weeks ago for my literature class, and we finally got our results today. I scored an ‘excellent’ which I must admit I’m fairly happy with.

I couldn’t enjoy it for too long though, considering I’ve got more tests and exams coming up very soon to worry about. Friend “C” came over to my house after school to try and study, but my brother and a handful of his friends were there already,  which distracted us completely so we ended up watching ‘Lie to Me’ and ‘Saw’ (the first) instead.

Still, what was easily the highlight of my day was the “Shave for the Cure” held at our ampetheatre afterschool. A good mate of mine, “A”, shaved her head and managed to raise thirteen-hundred dollars doing it. It was an awesome effort.
