so i just experienced my first earthquake ever!
minor. a small baby one.
when i got here, they had casually mentioned to me that koriyama gets like two earthquakes a month. and i was like, "oh. um. ok. thanks." so i was expecting it.
and it finally happened today!! while i was in the middle of a private lesson.
i felt the table and the floor move all of a sudden, and idk... the look i gave my student must have been kinda funny. cuz he was like, "what is wrong?" as if nothing was happening!! and i was like, "don't you feel that?!" and he said, "oh yes. it is, uh, normal."
haha. but i had to take a moment to continue. i mean.. i just couldn't act business as usual while there was an earthquake going on. but i felt so sheepish. he was lookin at me like a crazy person haha. gees!

i later asked chihiro my manager if she felt it. and she said yes without even blinking an eye.
i was like, "that was my first earthquake ever!"
and she said, "oh how was it? did you enjoy it?"
hahaha.
ahhh i love these folks!
