Trembling

I have had such a long day today. One of my colleagues is away on a birthday trip to Brazil and I agreed to cover one of his classes, so my day went like this:

up at 7:30
BREAKFAST
into work at 8:30, photocopying etc.
start teaching 9:30
finish teaching 12:30
travel to private student 12:45
start teaching private student 13:30
finish teaching private student 14:30
arrive back home 15:15
LUNCH
back into work 15:30
start teaching 15:45
finish teaching 17:15
BREAK
start teaching 18:15
finish teaching 21:15
leave work 21:30
home 21:32
DINNER

In total eight and a half hours teaching with one and a half hours travelling. Funnily enough, despite feeling tired, I'm feeling good (although I do expect to sleep well tonight).

On several occasions recently I've been sitting at my computer when I've suddenly felt like I was rocking back and forth. The feeling was extremely weird, like standing on a ship in choppy water. I had no idea what was wrong with me and I began to worry that I might have something wrong with me - maybe my balance sensors were out of whack or my nervous system was breaking down.

Anyway, just as I was packing up this evening L asked me if I had felt the earthquake on Sunday. The feeling of relief that washed over me was unbelievable. Having been told this, I checked the earthquake lists and found several quite bad earthquakes in the Mendoza area which were strong enough to cause tremors here in BsAs.

So, the good news is I'm not falling apart although the apartment block gets the shakes every now and then.
