Home Sweet Dorm

Woot. I am back home. (FYI, I'm now referring to my dorm as home, and my parents' house as Kingwood). I have seen exactly six people on campus - most other people have to wait until Sunday to get back in. :D There is little food in the pantry, and it's rush-hour traffic right now, which means I'm waiting until tomorrow to grocery shop. That'll be fun.

Alas, I must go get the rest of the stuff out of my car...I've been stalling in the warmth. It's 43 degrees out, thank goodness. I was afraid we'd have more of that nasty, humid 80-degree weather. It's January, for goodness sake. Let it be cold!

Turning Over a New Leaf...

Okay, bad pun, but since it is the first day of fall...I love my Mustang template, but I needed a change. Converse shoes are so classic. I did some very limited HTML editing, mostly with colors. If I left you off my blog roll, please tell me, and accept a sincere apology. I'm not trying to oust anyone here ;-)

So what do you think?

Oh, yes. The dorm does have power and water as of last night. However, the AC is struggling to get us below 85 degrees...Ahh! I do NOT like Ike.

EDIT: The temperature in the dorm is now blissful. I was afraid it would be another night of sleeping with a Ziploc of ice under my pillow.

This Week's Hurricane

I'm calling this a presidential hurricane, although I don't like Ike. I decided around 9 last night to drive home, because my little sis really, really, really wanted me to come back for the weekend. And there were only like 50 people still on campus.

So this is my update/prayer request: safety! We're supposed to get 70 mph winds for twelve hours straight starting around 2 am (great timing, huh?) Raewyn had the bad side of last week's hurricane; I'm getting this week's. It's not supposed to have Katrina-type damage or anything, but it is a massive storm.

Dependent on matters such as Internet connectivity and electricity availability, I'll try to keep everyone updated...
