Unsettled

Moments ago (okay several minutes ago) I was working away on my latest blog when I felt as though I was shaking.  Unsure if it was just me or the entire couch, I quickly rationalized that it must have only been my imagination.  

What must have been 30 seconds later the whole house was shaking and I was trembling like crazy.  Living in the Great Northwest I have lived through my fair share of earthquakes, but this was different.  Out of my element and completely unexpected it sent chills down my spine.  Failing to react, I just sat it out and then remained, paralyzed by shock.  

Scrambling through the latest news reports I have found nothing to confirm what I most vividly just experienced, leaving me to question whether it was actually a tremor of sorts, or some amazingly large vehicle.  I suppose only time will tell.

Still no reports anywhere online for Rwanda, but after talking with our host, apparently they are quite common in this area.  Glad to know I am not losing my mind!

Hey, I was in Rwanda last semester for GoED, but our house was in Kaciyru then...little side note if no one has told you, if you take your international student ID card you can use the library and free internet at the new US Embassy which is in the Kaciyru district, you can't miss it on one of the round-a-bouts!!! Have a great time!
