Today was my last day of Spanish classes for level 4. I got on better with my classmates and I liked my teacher better, but I still prefer that she spoke a bit of English when explaining stuff. So after class, we went to have lunch at a pizza place (Shakey's if you want to know), and we were all in the midst of eating and talking when I felt like I was riding on a small boat and there was a huge wave. It was also like when you have a hangover and you feel all dizzy and want to throw up.
It took another second to realize it was freaking earthquake, and the thoughts that ran through my mind were -- should we take cover or go outside? Is this going to be the last thing I will remember, that I am having lunch with people that I didn't really like much before? And OMGOMGOMGOMG in between. So I was freaking out a little mentally, but physically, I remained in my seat waiting for what my companions were going to do.
Apparently, it was a 6.2 quake? Lasted for around...less than 20 seconds? I did not like that feeling. So I can imagine what those who had a 7+, 8+ Richter quakes felt.
---------------------
I just finished packing though, because I'm going with my mum to her hometown in the province. It is...going to be so boring. There's no cable TV, no TV (!!!), no internet, and the songs they play are six months old and are local stuff, and my dad just told me off for thinking of wearing shorts.
I just thought of what my flist and my twitter!flist is going to look like when I come back. Also, I won't be able to follow the Miami Masters and the Worlds (figure skating championships)! :( But I will be bringing a lot of DVDs and a couple of books so I'll have something to do. I haven't been there for more than a decade, so I am also a little curious on what it looks like now.
Random -- I tried looking for the POTC: Curse of the Black Pearl soundtrack that isn't 192 kbps because the quality is crap, but there isn't one anywhere. :(
Have a good weekend, guys. ♥
