Earthquakes

One happened today. But I guess you already knew that. It was a 5.4 on the Richter scale, but we just felt one of its aftershock. The strongest had a magnitude of 3.6.

It was sort of funny, though. Our Chemistry teacher started panicking majorly. Is "majorly" even a word? Hmm...Anyways, when we were under our desks, we just started cracking up for some unknown reason. But our teacher looked like he was about to pee his pants. I think he DID. After the quake passed, he called the main office & they said we had to evacuate the whole building pronto.

We evacuated the building & went to the baseball diamond. I brought 1984 with me outside. The book was alright. I mean I was still at the beginning, so I wouldn't really know. Most people brought their cell phones and they called their parents to let them know they were alright. I, too, had the urge to call someone. But I forgot my cell phone at home. Took me a while to figure THAT out (I'm actually exaggerating).

The parents on the phone were talking crazy, though. For example, Andrew's mom asked him if he was dead. Hello?! Excuse me, but if your son was dead, he wouldn't be speaking to you, now would he? But I guess you're a parent & obviusly that's how worried parents sound like. So props, Andrew's mom.

I hope that no one you knew was injured or anything like that. The media reported no acccounts of injury, but you can't be too sure of that now, can you?
