It was 6.8 in the Richter Scale from the epicentre. In Dhaka, it was 6.7 but fortunately it lasted for only 5-6 seconds so it did not cause any damage, but some buildings got severely weakened now. If the earthquake was a bit more severe, Dhaka would surely get blown away...

I never experienced such a deadly earthquake in my life. I SUDDENLY got up feeling a shake... we were all sleeping... I was really so scared!

But, again, we're alright here.

So my 2016 started very unluckily... Wow, what a terrifying way to start a year, huh?! Glad you're all right, though... :)

My year has been mediocre so far. Today was my first day back at school. The most unusual thing that happened to me was that I had a lab in Chemistry which entailed mixing chemicals together to determine the solubility of different types of ions. So yeah, nothing special happening so far...but on the bright side I'm going to see the new Star Wars movie later this week, and I got a Wii U for Christmas! :D Ugh I never expected my 2016 to start in such a terrifying way...

You're lucky. Nothing good happened with me so far, except that...

We have a library in our school where nobody is allowed. Now only the top 10 students from every class are allowed in the library. I'm also in the top 10 so yay now I spend a long time in the library reading books! But dang out of ten of us eight are boys and the other girl is not really my good friend so I kinda feel lonely... Only the top 10 students in each class allowed in the library? What a stupid rule! Good for you for being one of the top 10, though.

My school used to have a rule kind of like that. Basically, in order to use the library at any time of the day, even AFTER school, you had to have a hall pass from a teacher to get in (unless you're in a club or the whole class has arranged to take time in there), and you had to have work to do. They got rid of the hall pass part though, now we just have to sign in on a form. Recently, though, people have started to figure out how to hack this rule. There are a few students who come in saying they have work; the only thing is, they would have a very light load of work, so they could be done in 5 to 10 minutes and then go play games on the computers!
