This was pretty scary at the time but is totally funny now...


I was sitting in history class back in February and there are about 15-20 students. My prof is blabbing on about Canadian Immigration policies. Anyways my table starts shaking a little bit and so my 1st reaction is to see who is tapping their feet cause that often will make little vibrations - well I'm not the only one doing this, I see other people looking around to se who is tapping their feet and then the room starts swaying back and forth like there's a wave going underneath it. Everybody stops listening to the lecture and starts talking and saying things like holy sh*t. My prof turns around (he's been writing on the board) and asks what the problem is. Hello what's the problem the ground is moving. So one of the students puts up his hand and says uh sir I think we're having an earthquake. My prof is just like oh, ok. So the shaking stops and he says what to do - should we go outside or stay in, we decided to stay put - oh yeah we'll do really well when that big one hits Vancouver. And so we resumed the lecture. I just still can't believe the prof didn't notice we were having an earthquake.


(The quake in Vancouver was caused by the 6.8 quake in Seattle - the seismologists said the it was only 2 something by the time it hit us which I totally don't believe cause we are used to having 3 and 4's and have never felt anything that big before.)
