Earthquake!!!! 05/21/2008
 

We had an EARTHQUAKE this morning!! It woke me up at about 7:45 – after Justin had left to go to school. My mom thinks Im crazy – but it was so cool!!!!

At first I just thought I was crazy. Because at the beginning of last semester I thought I had felt a very small shake and when I asked Justin about it he acted like I was crazy – because he didn’t feel it. So I really wasn’t planning on saying anything about this one – even though it was bigger than the one I “felt” last semester. Until my friend Kelsie and I were talking on the computer and she asked me if I felt it and I was like YES!!! IM NOT CRAZY!!!

Justin was on campus and said he didn’t feel it. Which is weird because the campus is in between our house and Kelsies house. I also asked Henry – who is a local that works for our landlord about the earthquake. He was like “yes – there was one this morning”! And he lives a village over. Im assuming it was just a “trimmer” because it lasted for like 30 seconds maybe?? I don’t know – it woke me up. It was the craziest thing. It felt like a giant grabbed each side of our house and shook it gently. 

Above pictures are of our car!! We are renting it from a guy named Lester who works in the library on campus. I LOVE having it. It has made life so much more convenient. The car has its “kinks” but as long as it runs Im happy with it! Well – there have been two times where I went to start and it and it was dead! Luckily – the first time it happened Justin was with me. The battery is corroded and so he showed me how to make it start. You just jiggle this little wire that goes to the battery and make it tighter. And then it starts!! Also – when its locked – you cant unlock it from the drivers side. So when Im alone – I have to unlock the passenger side, crawl through the car and unlock the driver side door. So I am extremely thankful for our White Nissan Sunny!!

I really needed this today! I'm cracking up! We just finished 3 hours of Biochem and I really needed this laugh. No, you're not "Crazy" and I like how you try to prove to every one reading this how un-crazy you really are! I love you...
