Earth Moving

There was another earthquake today. They feel like being on a boat. Which seems kind of okay, until you remember that you are on a couch in a building and there should be no rocking. And it's hard to tell when it's over. I don't really mind them a whole lot, but they are a bit unnerving. I sit here and wait to see if it will get stronger or weaker, then at some point I think about Haiti and where I should be that would be safest. But I still just sit here and wait. Before Easter 2010, I think I had felt about 3 earthquakes in the seven years(almost) I've been here. Since April there've been about 5 or 6. And they've been stronger than the ones I felt before. It would appear that the 'big one' may in fact be coming, which makes me think I might be sorry that I laughed at the crazy guy who posted the warning video for all of California and said to have emergency 'everything' ready. However, if the weirdo is right, I'll be in Spain when the 'big one' happens anyway.

I don't know if it's the weather or what, but I've been really sleepy today. I didn't wake up until after 10, and I would have stayed in bed if I didn't have to go to class. When I came home between classes, I had to resist the urge to take a nap. And now it's not even midnight and I'm sleepy. I'm used to getting up before 9 and being awake until 12:30 or so. This is a strange feeling for me, and I hope it's temporary.

Tomorrow I go to work again, and I have a new intern starting. Hopefully he won't suck, which will mean that I will be able to delegate a lot of things to him that I normally have to do. I'm also determined to practice speaking Spanish as much as possible, with as many people as possible. I want to at least seem intelligent when I get there. That's all.
