Hurricane Katrina

So the grand experiment of Rachel leaving New York has been thrown a major blow - a Class 5 Hurricane sized blow named Katrina. As of Friday night, we knew the hurricane was coming, but no one was really concerned about it. The T2s and 3s partied, my imaginary boyfriend hit on Kathriel, Celeste and I studied like it was no one's business for our tests on Monday. All was copacetic. We wake up in the morning and within 15 seconds of me signing online Emily ims me asking where I'm going to study. Then we start hearing about the weather reports. Still, everyone is all concerned about studying and the tests and no one is leaving until we hear that our exam is officially cancelled. Yes, those are med students for you. Okay, so we finally get the email saying that school is closed, everything is cancelled, everyone should leave (including the entire crop of freshman undergrads who were conveniently moving in this weekend, but that isn't my story to tell). So my friends and I start trying to figure out what to do, and we decide to go to Celeste's parent's house in Alexandria, which is in central Louisiana. All right, we have four hours to pack and get ourselves ready to go. The highlight was definitely talking to Josh, who doesn't even realize that a hurricane was coming. (its okay, the boy hasn't had a working computer for a few days) That in itself would have been okay, but when I told him that yes, there was a hurricane, his reaction was, "but its really nice outside." Yes, there's a future neurosurgeon for you.

Okay, gotta go, but will post more later.
