Inclement Weather

I've found that the more that the week goes on, the harder it gets to focus in my 8 o'clock, not to mention keep my eyes open. It always seemed to me that it would get easier. Nevertheless, I'm finished with 8 o'clocks for the week, and have been sitting in the student lounge for the past half hour navigating between the school's weather advisory site, weather.com, and IM. I feel drained, I don't have any energy, and all I want to do is sleep.

A tropical storm - soon to be hurricane - just caused my night class to get cancelled. All I'm doing is sitting here waiting for a "statement" reagarding the rest of the day. This is the first storm I've seen since I've been here that's actually going to blast the inland part of Florida, and not just the coast...so basically I think we'll feel it this time. Not to mention the 26 or so inches of rainfall that we're supposed to get over the next couple days - that'll probably flood my car. That'll be kind of awesome, and by kind of I mean not at all.

I also just found out that if class is cancelled, they just entend the next session to make up for it. I guess you really can't cut corners in this program. Anyways, I basically am sitting on campus right now until 2, for a class that will probably be cancelled, and if not, it's only an hour. Either way, I'm going to be driving home in heavy rain, with crazy people on the road, that I'm not in the mood to deal with. Not saying that I'm not one of those crazy people or anything...

I'm hoping that my class tomorrow is cancelled, so I can at least have a long weekend to catch up on everything. I thought I would be looking forward to the weekends as a break from school since I'm on campus most of the day anyway during the week. Not the case so far at least, I have a lot of catching up to do if I want to stay ahead of things.

Anyways, enough ranting about school for now. I'll complain about the rain a little more...just kidding. Ok, I think I may curl up on this couch and try to take a little nap until I wait for a weather statement, since I'm finding it surprisingly hard, again, to concentrate...can you believe it?

If anyone has any suggestions for staying awake other than coffee (pending that they're legal-I don't want to hear about speed, or cocaine or anything like that), please let me know - cause I'm having a small problem staying awake through property law... I'm going to keep looking for hurricane updates, this campus is a huge ruckus right now - people are going crazy...and I'm going to start in a minute...that's the update for now...
