Jishin ga atta yo!

I knew it wasn't a dream, even though the teachers at school tried to tell me it was.

At 3:23 this morning, there was an earthquake that measured 4.9 and was based in the Tokyo area. There has been a few earthquakes in the year that I have been here, and I have always managed to wake up for them.

First I hear it coming.

It's a rumbling sound.

Then the cupboard doors start to shake.

Then the rumbling gets louder.

And then my futon shakes.

And then I shake with it.

First few times it was a bit scary, but now I'm used to them. Well, so I think anyway.

My Kyoutou-sensei just told me I am too sensitive to earthquakes, and that they are a part of living in Japan. I need to become "more less sensitive" apparently.

I'll try.
