Actually, I’m not talking about babies. Just ICE. Oklahoma has it’s largest amount of power outages ever! Because it’s raining, it’s pouring, and then it’s freezing. It’s freezing on trees. It’s freezing on cars. It’s freezing on my roof, and then the stuff on the roof begins to melt and avalanches slide off. All the pretty trees in front of my complex have split down the middle. It’s amazing. The roads are pretty good, but some of our trees may never have leaves again.
Luckily, I have electricity. It sounds like a lot of OU students are just hanging out of the library because of the power outages. That really sucks because school was cancelled today. Can you believe it…school cancelled on finals week. That usually doesn’t happen unless of national disasters, not just local ones.
For me, the storm is all good. It means that I’ve got to stay at home for the last two days and drink as many hot beverages as possible. I did something really stupid on Saturday. I went to a party as I was getting a cold, and then I sang Christmas carols when my voice was already starting to go.
So I’ve been iced at home with my klennex box and larangytis. The voice is bad enough that the guy who checked out my groceries at the store this afternoon said he hoped that I feel better soon…and that despite the fact that the line was over 3 people long. Luckily I don’t feel too bad. I just sound aweful. No more Christmas carols for me for a little while.
On the other hand, I submitted my online final that was due today, yesterday, 15 minutes before I found out that school was cancelled. Well, I guess it’s done. But now my final on Wednesday is going to be fierce. I have hundreds of pages of material on my floor right now that I need to actually internalize with some meaning.
Well, that’s all. If you ever have something to say, give me a message. I like being sequestered by ice, but it’s getting kinda lonely.
