10.9.10

Experienced my first earthquake last night, it was amazing! Jory, Katie, Donna and I were in the sauna and it suddenly started shaking. At first we thought it was someone playing a trick on us until we realized the lanterns outside were shaking as well. After we went inside, everyone told us the earthquake measured 5.9 in San Jose! Ridiculous! Popped my earthquake cherry J

My teacher Sasha is so lovely, she is so full of knowledge and I really enjoy the way she presents information and guides her class. The instruction is never pretentious or strict and I feel like I am learning so much more than I had expected.

Everything today has been reminding me of my dear Joe, I miss him. I have been lucky enough to talk to him every day since I have been here. He has made himself so available to me whenever I needed him, I’m so thankful for that. It’s very comforting being able to make that connection everyday.
