Why bother
If this storm (rita) shuts down school why should we bother going back at all. I just went to florida two weeks ago and on the way there i saw damage from katrina all the way past the mississippi-alabama border. If this one hits near the louisiana-texas border what is this place going to look like? If they do cancel school here this semester i am probably going to take off for a few months to somewhere else, may even not come back. I never lived out west and everyday i seem to have less and less reason to stay here. I am starting to get antsy. I had things tying me here but now i am not so sure that i do anymore except that i have some new friends that i am getting to know well and don't want to leave them. I am going to wait and trust for a while to see how things turn out but i don't want to get stuck here hoping against all hope and wasting time that i could be spending living my life somewhere else. In coming here i gained somethings and got hurt twice in the process but all in all i don't see it as a net loss. I still feel that i am where i am supposed to be and it all was right so i am not going anywhere right now but a break, maybe go work somewhere while school is out, if the storm shuts us down, would be nice. Maybe i can find works in the islands somewhere or in belize or costa rica. Oh well as usual i will have to wait to see what i am supposed to do.
