Nearly all of them are doing engineering. One commerce, 2 fine arts, but the rest (about 10) are doing engineering. It's apparently just as good as the engineering school in Auckland, but they get to leave home and be in a totally different city.

But your phone broke just from falling off the tv...

I've dropped my phone on concrete from a metre and a bit a few times before and it's fine

It done the same thing about a month ago from a hard knock. I've fixed it now though. I was showing my mate how it happened and by dropping it again it fixed itself. Now even the smallest of knocks ****s it up... time for a new phone I think.

hahaha whacking anything fixes it

I need a new phone too but I dunno what to get. I have an iPod Touch so I don't need a music phone. A nice camera would be good.

Almost everyone I know going to uni is going to Auckland or Otago.

The money is the major thing that puts me off going elsewhere, as I'm really lazy, and CBF getting a job.

There was another earthquake today. This one was only 5-6 on the scale and the epicentre was out to sea near Wellington-ish (I think) Unrelated to the ChCh one.
Poor journalism by me :laugh

It was near Napier/Manawatu. And there were two, a 4.2 then a 5.1 or something like that.

Still a lot of aftershocks happening in Canterbury too.

Check this out, very interesting: GeoNet – Recent New Zealand Earthquakes

None near Auckland.










Darfield must be getting completely owned, look at how many aftershocks are being centered around them...

 

[Chewie]

They're not very strong ones though, they wouldn't cause much damage

What is the minimum rating for them to get felt?

 

[Chewie]

They would've felt those definitely, but would hardly have done anything I would think.

All this earthquake stuff all over the news, just wants me to know what one feels like.
They should make a earthquake simulator somewhere in Auckland, as we don't get any up here.

We've had a couple of earthquakes but they were reasonably small, happened quite a few years ago and were at night. I think I remember one of them.
