Today I was chatting online with my friend Michael and all of a sudden the whole school building starts shaking like hell and doesn't stop for about ten seconds. My first thoughts were along the lines of "don't come a knockin if the boat's a-rocking" (not really though) and then I thought that it might be the end. Haha, I am glad that these concrete buildings get along well with earthquakes. It turned out to be a 5.3 with the epicenter being dangerously close to my small mountain village. Probably the most shaking I have felt this year.
I keep thinking about how I can come back and try to make a difference in my old country. Perhaps I can get a job with moveon.org and drive around key states in some cool, gas-efficient used car that I find on the internet for under $2000. That would be a good way to explore parts of America I have never been to. Then again I just want to live on the east coast for a while, see some of you friends I've been missing. Enjoy life while it lasts with those who matter most. See the fam, you know.
Wherever you are, I send my best to you like a squirrel saving precious nuts for the winter. Still exhausted, but won't give up.
P.S. right now is spring break here which means that teachers come to work just about as much as usual and students come everyday for sports. I played some baseball with the kids today, which was fun.
