Can I just say that I love UF for making us go to class even though the majority of the state is under Hurricane Wilma? It's not raining or anything here right now, but it's pretty windy and there was just a huge wind gust that I thought was thunder because it was so loud. I'm really looking forward to waiting for the bus in that ( Read more... )

Ok, so here's the thing about college ( Read more... )

However, I do mind considering ( Read more... )

Wasn't it just yesterday that we were worrying about hurricanes? How is it hurricane season already ( Read more... )

Well, Dustin and I made it back to Arcadia safe and sound. The drive home was crazy: a big wreck that caused lots of traffic, but it was actually on the north-bound part so we made it through pretty quickly. Traffic was backed up for MILES on the north-bound. yeesh. Then MORE traffic right after Ellington, only two exits from home. Damn road ( Read more... )

Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne. Hurricane has come and gone. It was much like Frances, only much shorter. Jeanne only last about 24 hours, whereas Frances was here for three whole days ( Read more... )
