I'm sure facebook is flooded with gasping earthquake statuses, especially if you know people from the Bay Area. But still, I'm going to talk about it. Ironically, today was a drill day to prepare for the earthquakes.
Felt the first real shake today. Well...two to be exact. The first one came as I was in GPP class and all of the sudden you could feel the entire lecture hall ( a hall that fits approximately 600 people) shake. You would think that I would panic and think of a way to jet out of the room but no. Instead, I just starred at the ceiling as it shook.
Just when you're hoping that a 3.9 magnitude earthquake was enough for the day, another one came 5 hours later. This time, I just sat on my comfy green chair (yes, I love my green chair) and starred as it shoke again. I know.
Next time, I really need a game plan in case something happen. Somehow, both times, I did not even think of crawling under a table (at least thats what you're told to do). Not from the bay area, I was somehow fascinated that I was caught in the middle of a real shake. Then, I had a sudden panic moment afterward when I realized something bad could have happened.
Hoping thats the end of the shakes for now. I don't know if I'll be able to deal with one of a higher magnitude. Welcome to Northern California, folks.
Ha.
