I've been out here for two years and never felt a thing...until about 10 minutes ago when I was stretching out on the futon to show my boyfriend a picture in my magazine and I heard the windows rumble, like thunder. I thought I felt the futon move, but before I could react it was over. Our first instinct was to go on the internets, which told us that it was 15 miles northwest of us and a 4.5.

It was a total switch, selling away my Victorian antiques and rich accessories used in my old home in Scotland to move to Finland, and an ultra-modern, ultra-white flat flooded with light.

With a very tight budget in these first months after the cost of moving, I have had to be creative with what I kept and what I can afford to buy.

The happiest moment today was when I finished cleaning and got to curl up on my futon and revel in the glory of a clean space and a good book.

I have talked about the infamous tradition of Isla Vista Couch Burning. Today in our school paper they had an article about the recent efforts to extinuish this sort of rite of passage for graduates
"As the school year winds down, it seems as though university and county officials can already detect the scent of burnt upholstery in the air.
Last summer, the county government passed an ordinance to try and stop the “tradition.” This spring, foot patrol officers will be wandering the streets - out of uniform - to try and catch perpetrators in the act.
