Back

Well, we're back to school. I had a nice post, but it was eaten by blogger. I'll try to update later. Off to drawing class.
Adios

Back

Well, so much for getting the week off. We missed monday and that was about it. I got Power last night!! That was a good moment. I didn't do so well on my marine bio exam... and the drawing i'm working on isn't coming along smoothly.
Other than that there is not much else to report. So, I'll leave you with a quiz.


You're Brigitte Bardot!

Another Storm

So... we were out of school for two weeks, went back to school for two week, and now the school is closing again for the third huricane. Amazing. Go Jean, Go! Who knows when we'll actually get any schooling this semester.
Other than that, not too much else is happening. Serena got her new car. Incredibly cute. I'm green with envy. I've already managed to fall behind in my classes.
I'm suppose to have a marine test on monday, but i don't think its going to happen....just have to wait and see.
Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell came to Stetson last night and I attended a cultural event (for about 10 minutes).....only 11 more credits to go!

POWER!!! I'm finally able to sleep...

This hurricane business started off with me being sick. I had a fever and a cold, which I am now happily getting over. So, I was glad that we were off on Thursday and Friday. Little did I know the horror my Labor Day weekend would hold.

First off, Frances was the slowest moving storm ever. It wasn’t until Saturday that we experienced some powerful wind and rain. After riding through Mount Dora, I will say that our neighborhood held up well. I also heard that Volusia was hit pretty hard too. We probably won’t go back to school till Monday. We only lost a few shingles on the house, but our power went out early Saturday morning.

We spent the next few days extremely uncomfortable. With 7 people in the house, no air, and no hot water we all were irritable. I couldn’t sleep. We all were napping on the floors under the windows. It was awful. To top it off, our neighbors were running a monster of a generator. It sounded as if a huge semi was parked by our front door. I thought surely we’ll have power by Monday. Nope. Monday came and went, then all day Tuesday. It was that night that we were teased. The power came on for 5 seconds and all were screamin’ praises. Then the great power god decided that we were not worthy and shut it off. We took this as a sign of hope…that they were working on the power and it should be on in a few minutes. Well, 30 minutes later we all went to bed- still no power.

Now after several days of feeling gross, I decided to open my bedroom window while I slept. I woke 5 minutes later to find a slug creeping up my wall. Eewww. I now also, have an ant infestation problem. They are living in my computer and swarming my surge protector. Aaarrrggg!

Anyways, the power finally came on around 3pm today. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I am now engaged in a CSI marathon and simultaneously trying to bring death upon as many ants as possible. I will now leave you with that. And if you don’t have power….i feel your pain.

I'm Back

Well, looks like i'm getting back into the swing of things. School started and i actually signed up for a drawing class. For those who know me, stop laughing! By the end of this class i will become a brilliant art-ee-st *inserted sarcasm*. I did, however, decide to take this class pass or fail. Yay, first one thus far. I haven't taken art since elementry school, and even then i was at the bottom of the barrel. It should be much fun and possibly theraputic (i hope). I'm also taking marine biology (for fun), senior project (yuck!!), and interpersonal communications (a requirement). Even though i was forced to take this communications class, i think it will be okay. The professor is highly entertaining and who knows...maybe i will apply some of this knowledge to my life gain better and more effective relationships. Haha. And as for the senior project class, with my least favorite teacher i add, i guess i will live, although in a state of great disstress.

I'm also sick. A few days into the new school year and i've gotten a cold (with sinus pressure) and a scratchy sore throat. I feel completely drained. I went through just about all our toilet paper trying to catch my nose.

It looks like Frances is on her way! School has been canceled for today and won't resume until Tuesday. Yay! I do feel bad for all the people who live on campus though, because they all have to evacuate. Hopefully, we won't sustain too much damage. Everyone is buying up supplies...good luck finding batteries and ply wood! i should probably go gas up the car and help bring in the porch furniture and plants. Later!
