Today, September 5th at 7:10 pm, out of nowhere, I experienced my first earthquake! It was soooooo freaky. My host mother was making me translate an e-mail for her, when all of a sudden the house started shaking. I was cracking up, but I was kinda scared, and I positioned myself between the doorways, and braced myself. It was a normal day. It just rained a lot. I guess earthquakes just come and go. It didn't even last a minute, and it didn't even shake that hard... My host dad didn't bother leaving his seat, and my host mom just stood around. I hope I don't become used to these type of things too...!

 Oh... And today, I went to a taiko show (Japanese Drumming) and I finished reading Animal Farm for the 3rd time. Anyways, I'm gonna go read some news. Peace!
