Well, I was right! On Wednesday they cancelled classes for Thursday and Friday...they also cancelled my test on Monday! Woo hoo!! Needless to say I secured my apartment as best I could, and promptly "evacuated" to Orlando! I was oh so crushed, let me assure you! Anyways, Hurricane Georges is passing by Miami as I type, and it might end up hitting Bradenton. It might even result in the FSU and Florida games getting postponed...crazy. Oh well...I just thought I'd run a quick update by you, my faithful journal readers! I must go and play on line with Kev now, so take care and buh bye!

My, oh my....there's a hurricane a comin'! Great, just perfect. This city is a madhouse because many people remember Andrew far too well. My mother is a nervous wreck. She is deathly afraid of hurricanes. I'd even go as far as to say that she has a phobia! The problem as of right now is that no one knows exactly the route that the storm is going to take. This sucks because until they figure it out, we still have to have class. I'm sorry, but if the hurricane ends up hitting here, it will probably happen on Thursday, which means that if you want to leave, you have got to get out tomorrow! Hence, they had better have it together about whether or not they are cancelling class by tomorrow. If this thing is heading here, I am not going to stick around! If I have to turn around and go back to Orlando, I'm going to be slightly annoyed. Not because I'd have to be going back, but because I hate to think that I made that long drive here for just one day! I also would hate to overstay my welcome with Kev and his roomate. I'm sure that Kev would like to gather some semblence of normalcy again! Today was pretty good. I found out that my afternoon classes were cancelled, which was wonderful. Sometimes I really think that someone up there likes me because they sure are looking out for me! I caught up on all the gossip from Eddy and Charlotte. I chatted with Josh for a little bit as well. I guess that Harry is in town for a few days, but funny, I haven't heard from him. Maybe I'm being a litlle silly about all of this, but he really did hurt my feelings a couple of weeks back, and since then has made no effort whatsoever to talk to me. It makes me really sad to think that my friendship means so little to him, but I don't think that it is my place to confront him about this. If he wants to make amends, he knows where to find me. He has changed so much, and I just don't know what else to say about that situation. I really wish that they would tell me something new about this hurricane business... this is frustrating. I must have been tired tonight because I slept from 8 until 10:30 when Charlotte called. I hope I can get to sleep tonight. Class starts bright and early tomorrow. I must go! Ok well, I believe that this is the end of my ramblings for this evening. Keep your fingers crossed for me...the least this storm can do for me is to get me out of my test on Monday! (I know it is a long shot, but a girl can dream, right?) Good night all!

Here I am...as promised, on Monday. Well, kind of, anyways. I am still in Orlando with Kev...I'm leaving tomorrow. It was nasty when I was supposed to leave this afternoon, rainy and whatnot. Besides that I just was not ready to say good bye (not that I ever am, but hey, what can I do?) So I didn't say good bye! It isn't like I am missing anything important, and I actually got more studying done here than I would ever have done at home! It is all about living life to it's fullest, right? If I die tomorrow, I want to have done everything in my power to be happy until then! I just finished cleaning out my email inbox (95 messages, I am so special!) HA! If I weren't on a list serve, I would feel like a big fat loser! Anyways, just had to give you hungry journal fans an indication that I am still alive and extremely well, for the moment! Kev is just about done with his paper, so I am going to sign off for now! I'll write lots tomorrow...promise :)

It is drizzly, wet, sloppy, and dreary here today. Not stormy, just blech. All day. I must relay a tip to the office of curriculum at my school...if they are going to schedule class at 8 in the morning, it had better be a class worth getting up for. Arthritis is not, so I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I did go to class this morning...just not the 8:00 one! So class was class...we were supposed to have a quiz today, but we didn't. Oh well. This afternoon I had specialty clinic. Once again that shaped up to be a rather big waste of time. So it goes. After that, it was back home to do laundry, clean, and get ready to go to Orlando! I leave tomorrow after class...I can't wait!!! Well, I really must finish folding laundry now, so I bid you a fond farewell. No more updates till I get back on Monday...how will you ever survive?? I'm sure you will muddle through somehow! Until then....

Hi kids! Can you say recuperation day? I knew you could. Ok, so maybe I don't sound like Mr. Rogers, but I think that I am damn funny and that is all that counts! Yes, today was the prototypical recuperation day. We had a great night out last night, and I got very drunk very fast. Not too drunk though, it was just about right! Anyways, lots of fun, some good conversations, and lots of food too! What more could you ask for? Needless to say, there was no way I was going to drag myself out of my nice cozy bed at 8 for class! I slept in, sat on my couch and watched morning talk shows, talked to Kev, and then went to my afternoon classes. They weren't so bad, but I have to say it...thank God for note service!!! I didn't get to go to the gym, so I feel like a tub of lard. It doesn't help that I am bloated, either. The joy of womanhood...right! Why are we the ones that have to get fat and bitchy as a side effect of being able to reproduce? We should be rewarded, not punished! Grumble grumble grumble. Alright I'm all better now. I'm just like a bottomless pit on days after I drink a lot. I can't get enough food into me. A very bad thing. For all intents and purposes I have NOTHING to do tonight! What a wonderful feeling! My place is clean, no homework, no errands...I just have to be. I love it. Tomorrow I will do laundry and get ready to go see Kev! I can't wait...I miss him so much. We have a 3 day weekend for the Jewish new year, so I'm unoffically calling it a 4 day weekend for my own purposes and taking Friday off as well. Aren't I devious? Not really. Kev has to work a couple of days that I am there, so that will give me an opportunity to study arthritis. I will keep up with this material this time...no more procrastination. Well, at least less procrastination. Baby steps, Kel, baby steps. I believe I have rambled on long enough for today...time to go see what else I can eat! Ain't life grand?

So sorry for no entry yesterday, but my day on Sunday was about as exciting as watching paint dry. I studied Immuno, and studied Immuno, took a nap, studied some more, talked to my angel, studied, slept 2 hours, and voila! Here starts today! I got up at 6:30 and I haven't stopped yet! The final was a lot tougher than I would have liked, and that is all I'm going to say about that. Then Charlotte, Josh, Eddy, and I went to this great salad/soup restaurant for lunch. That was nice, and with Charlotte around, you are always in for a good laugh! Then it was class...MOD - arthritis. It was horrible. We had it from 1 until 4:30. The class was interminable. I hope that it isn't like that for the rest of the course! Now I am going to power clean, get ready, and go celebrate being done with our mini finals week! Woohoo! Until tomorrow!
