Un tremlor...no big deal

Today was pretty normal except that there was an earthquake!!  This morning I got ready for school & fixed my own breakfast because Mama hadn't woken up yet & I was so proud that I had fixed my own food then I was like...oh wait, I do that every day at home haha.  We had class for 4 hours today and I got home at about 3:30 and had lunch (lasagna with ham & alfredo sauce and salad).  After lunch I skyped Mom & Dad then finished homework.  Mama's sister & her niece came over and they went to Valparaiso for a little while to shop.  While they were gone, I was just sitting here doing homework and the apartment literally started shaking...pictures on the wall, building swaying back and forth.  I was freaking out and I knew it was an earthquake but I didn't want to be that American freaking out so I just remained calm and got some watermelon from the kitchen.  After eating that I casually went to Rodrigo & was like...oh hey did you feel that eathquake & he was like what are you talking about & I was like um oh no am I going crazy??  But then everyone in our Chilean facebook message was freaking out & Carlos sent us an email telling us to remain calm & making sure we were all okay.  He also explained that it had been a tremlor (a small earthquake...but I heard it was a 5 on the scale).  When Mama, her sister, and her niece got back they were freaking out about the tremlor too/laughing at me because I was freaking out more.  We had tea time complete with tea, juice, bread, and fruitcake.  Now I'm doing more homework and I'm not sure what we're doing tonight.  So...definitely a pretty interesting day.
