I know I have many things to write and update on, but I just have to write this:
20th May 2012, around 4:00 am, I've experienced my first earthquake ever!! I was only half asleep at the point and suddenly the walls behind me started to shake and not too long till it was the whole room!! I think its because I'm unfamiliar with earthquake so I'm not sure whether to be scared or not, my heart-rate was definitely faster however it had only lasted for a couple of seconds. My flatmates came out of their rooms and we've went out of the building to see what's happening with the neighbourhood. Everyone was slightly confused but they were calm. We've went straight to bed afterward.
By morning I received a phone call from my cousin because he saw the news and wanted to check up on me. I hope I wasn't mumbling too much because it was only 8:30 in the morning, haha. Finally around 11: 30(ish) I've managed to get up and call the parents but it seems that they haven't noticed about the event over here... I shall tell them later, saves them from worrying too much. I've checked the news and it states the earthquake took place about 35km north of the city of Bologna; 6.0-magnitude quake struck in the middle of the night. All in all, in Bologna its seems like the usual cloud Sunday. Sending thoughts to the people who has been lost due to the event. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-18135898
