Hi Ryota!
I wanted to welcome you to the group. When you mentioned
Christchurch, my interest was piqued. Just a week or so agao there
was a travel show on NZ and they spent time showing the architecture
boating on a waterway in Christchurch. How lovely it was!I have a
friend I've never met, who lives there. (I'm a hand papermaker and he
designed my hollanders).
When the earthquakes came, I cried and prayed for this wonderful man
and his family. The devastation was horrifyingly sad, so
my condolences to you and congratulations -- for surviving and for
what you endured.
I have my own post traumatic stress from the events and the loss
surrounding the onset of my TM -- so I urge to not neglect
addressing just the sheer emotional/psychic weight of the trauma of
the earthquake on top of your TM.
I'm sure on of our professors will chime in about the challenges of
lecturing.
Wishing us all strength and healing,
Akua
