Summing up the past

Hello everyone!

I must give you my apologies for not publishing anything in the past days, but you'll have to excuse me, because this days have been chaotic.

I think the last time I wrote was the last Thursday, well that day wasn't so bad, I had to look after a friend's son but it was really stressing cuz' it's impossible to control that kid! I mean, he just wouldn't listen to you! Fortunately, my boyfriend went to my house so he helped me a little bit till the boy finally fell asleep. After that I had a good time watching series with Juan, it was some kind of relief that at least not everything has changed.

Friday I spent it doing homework so I didn't went out but my mom and aunt went to help a friend of my mom that has to leave her consultory building because of the earthquake; when they came back to the house they were so sad to see how was the city...

Saturday morning, I woke up with the sound of the earthquake alarm and the voice of my mom yelling that we have to leave the house; I acted automatically running to the front door, opening it, and then running for my ferrets, in my desperation I could only find Clint and I couldn't find Sol, I didn't have time for keep looking so I went out the flat, run down stairs with Clint in my arms, my mom with Joy, and my aunt were just behind me, and when we were at the street I realize that I wasn't wearing shoes; we stayed in the parking lot of the street for a while but my mom told my aunt and I to stay there and wait for her because she was going to look for Sol to see if she was OK. After some minutes she came back with Sol and told us that she was on the top of their little house; we wait together for a little while and then we came back to the flat to watch the news; after that Juan went to visit me again to calm me because I was quite scared this time, after that I finished my homework but I must say that this days have been really bad times for us.

Today I finally came back to school, everyone was talking about the earthquake, and I must say that I'm sick of this, everyone is talking of the same things, about the same catastrophic days, and I not disagree about talking about it or knowing useful information about how to help other in this situation or what to do because I know that it is a necessity now, but I'm against of watching again and again the same videos, the same photos, I'm sick and tired of this, because that kind of videos don't help to recover from this, they just make you feel the same fear that you felt that day, and today in the school I was just about going nuts because there was a lot of "funny guys" that put the sound of the alarm and that just create more fear, I don't know, maybe I'm the one who is wrong on thinking like this but that is what I feel and that's how things are for me; but not everything is so gray now, I'm happy to say that the people are somehow recovering from this, I'm hopeful on the idea that everything is going to be better.

Yours faithfully, Sheryl.
