Today, umm should I say yesterday since it is 345 in the morning.... Tuesday Morning, there was an earthquake outside of LA. From news report and later confirmed by coworkers, it could be felt all the way down here in San Diego.
I did not feel a think. Highly disappointed. In fact I didn't even know it happened. How did I find out, for the rest of the day since the earthquake first hit at 11:42am, I recieved a slew of texts and phone calls from friends and family back home making sure I was okay. Jen & Paul both texted me almost immediately and I was completely confused. I had no idea what they were talking about.
A goal of mine was to feel an earthquake while living here. I guess I can't really say "goal" since it is something I literally have no control over. Now that there was even the slightly potential, and I was laying in bed checking myspace and could have felt it and not even noticed, I am saddened. Grant it people, I'm not asking for a big one, just a small little shake.
Even more than my disappointment, was the sheer appreciation of the level of concern from people back home. It was truly touching to know people cared and worried about my safety and well being. I know my friends and family do, but to actually see it in action is different, makes it more evident and real. I didn't expect anyone to be concerned, since I seriously had no idea there was even an earthquake. It is a great feeling especially since I have been emotionally struggling with the idea of leaving San Diego and moving home for the fall.
