As I was sitting knitting and watching Big Bang Theory when my boss messaged me at 8 letting me know that there was going to be a tsunami at 3 am. I went downstairs to ask the RA if we need to start preparing, they said no that it is just a watch and sent me away. I went upstairs and something did not feel right. I talked to my relief society president and we started getting the ward ready for the attack. Not an hour later it turned into a warning. I have been just sitting around trying to help as many people as I can and have started preparing for the worst. I have also kept my mother updated on my happenings along with Ben. Ben is so sweet, he called me and kept texting me until I responded letting him know I was okay. that was so nice of him, Elke met up with me and now we are upstairs just on the comps and hanging out. My screen is really bright and my comp won't let me adjust it so I am going to restart it and hope it fixes it. It did. Not long after my comp restarted I decided that I did not care if the tsunami got to me anymore I was more tired than anything else. I went to bed probably about 3 4 ish and my body woke me up at 6. Nothing had happened in my sleep. Elke and I were happy that nothing too bad happened in the night. We got ready to go to sleep and then the texts and calls and emails came. They read that school is open and that we need to go to class. We read the messages, heard the calls and said, "What the heck? We have been up all night, school should be closed so we can get some sleep..." These messages were of course sent a few minutes before my first class. I didn't have time to shower or change because I was going to be late. I almost ran to my class hoping it would be just extra credit or a super easy day. I get there and the door is locked and no one else was around. I then went to the seasider to get some food, tsunamis always make me hungry. The seasider was closed so I walked back to class to see if anyone decided to show up, there is a little torn up piece of paper that said my class was canceled. I almost didn't want to believe it but I really wanted to shower and wake up a bit. I then went home and got ready for work. No one had been in the office that morning and I was almost scared that I was in trouble that I was a few minutes late just because there was no coverage of the building. I wasn't and as soon as I got off from work I went home laid down and finally got some rest. Now it's about 7 my time and I am so hungry and in need of entertainment. I think I'm going to watch the TV movie Alice that came out last year, and eat some Spaghetti-O's, popcorn, and pickles. mmmmm food. If I finish my food before the movie/show thing is over hopefully I can finish my second panel today. I have been working on this panel for what feels like almost too long but that's fine. I've been busy and stuff. Well I hope that none of your friends, family, or someone you may have know was in the earthquake. If they were, they will in the prayers of many and mine. Now it is time for food and to make sure I have everything ready for our mocktail party tomorrow night. Now we are going to be celebrating that we survived. Until next time.
