crazy day

i woke up this morning at 4ish to an earthquake.
yeah.
an earthquake.
which was crazy- you'd think it would be quick but they go on for a couple of seconds. this one was only a 4.4 but APU was really close to the epicenter so most people felt it. there were the people like my roommate though who were dead asleep. As soon as it started i was awake and i yelled at daisy, "holy crap, what the heck is that?!" to which she responded by grunting and rolling over. charming. anyways, that was just kind of a wild experience. they are quite freaky while actually happening. to you.
and then i had a huge exam in my world civ class and i wrote about the start of world war 1 which was not nearly as bad as my last exam in that class, i feel good about it, but the whole time i was thinking about the plays we did in mr. rogers' class about the assassination of franz ferdinand and it made it hard to take the whole thing very seriously.
in my christian life, faith, and ministry class we watched silly songs with larry from veggie tales. yeah. you know you go to a christian school when veggie tales becomes curriculum.
after that i had ceramics during which i spent 3 hours making a triangular teapot. there is a reason that normal teapots are not triangular. teapots were not designed to be that way, and i spent 3 hours paying the price for that, but my teacher LOVES it, so hopefully i'll get a really good grade on it cause it's a major project. continuous piece projects in ceramics=death.
yeah. that's it.
if Azusa gets hit by a tornado, or someone i know gets leprosy later today, i'll let you know.

EDIT:
it got crazier.
as in crazy awesome. i just got back from the south africa meeting about what's up for next and year and to give us a chance to meet other people that are going too and i am excited to say the least. it's setting in a little and it's starting to make more sense that next semester i will be going on morning runs with zebras, and working with people with AIDs, and traveling, and climbing waterfalls, and CAGED SHARK DIVING (don't tell my mom- she doesn't want me to go!), and bungee jumping, and learning and living and loving new people and places.
the staff seems to be incredible and it seems small and intimate (kind of like being at camp in africa for a semester) and i can't wait to see what God is going to do with that kind of space with these kinds of people that will be on this journey with me.

just to give you a visual- here's the apu south africa promo video for the program:
