Spring Break Began with the Earthquake

    This is my first spring break in California. Before the spring break, I made a lot of plans for the nine days break. I thought I can get a very happy and relax time for myself, however, the spring break began with the earthquake.
        At that night, I was playing ipad games on my bed. Suddenly, I felt a little dizzy. Everything began to shake and some of them fell on the floor. I thought it was a earthquake, but I am not afraid about the earthquake. I went out of my house and talked with my neighbors. After a while, I thought it was safe to go back. Then I found the earthquake did not stop. There were several times of earthquakes at that night, but I didn't run out of home. I just stayed in bed.
        Maybe you are confused about why I am not afraid of the earthquake. The reason is that I have met many times of earthquakes in my hometown. Some of them are similar with this earthquake. In 2008, there was a very big earthquake which happened in Sichuan province of China. Many people lost their lives in that earthquake. Even though my hometown is far from Sichuan, we still fell the hit. 
        When my parents heard about the earthquake, they called me as soon as possible. The earthquake did not make me feel nervous, but really make my parents worried about me. At the same time, I thought it is not a good beginning for the spring break.
