storm prep 08/17/2007
 

In the last 36 hours, I've heard no less than four times that I need to keep an eye on the weather forecast in case a hurricane is headed in my direction.    Evidently the worst part of hurricane season starts up soon and students aren't allowed to stay if we're told to evacuate.
My newest bookmarked site: National Weather Service National Hurricane Center.

After class today, Karen and I went out down the school gym and met up with 30 other kids in our class for a game of soccer.  I"ve never played before (probably should have mentioned that to our team, but oh well.)  It was ridiculously hot out today and sunny.  I'm not used to running around in the humidity, so that was kind of difficult for awhile.  Then it was sprinkling a bit and sunny.  And then there was a huge downpour until I left, which made the game suddenly a lot more fun since everyone was slowing down because of the heat.  The only downside is that water on astroturf is super slippery and I did a fun little backwards somersault after colliding with Tim as we were both going for the ball.  Shoulder hurts a bit.

I went to home to shower and get the formaldehyde smell out of my hair (anatomy lab today was removing vertebrae T6 through T12 from Horace using a chisel).  My anatomy group made dinner plans to bond over something other than body parts at Superior Grill, some Tex-Mex-ish restaurant in a pretty central location.

Found the limited edition Absolut New Orleans I've been looking for (100% of profits go to Gulf Coast charities) - I'm kind of afraid to try it because it's mango + black pepper flavored and that sounds kind of weird to me.  But the bottle is pretty, and that might be all that matters.

I was just reading your blog to catch up on your life since you are not returning my calls. Maybe you got lost in a hurricane or something. But you forgot to mention in your drive to New Orleans, that one of those days, you learned what a metering light is (I told mom and dad the story, and they thought it was pretty funny). For those of you just tuning in, apparently Seeyuen has never seen a metering light on the onramp of a free. So upon seeing the green light, she floors it, unaware that it is supposed to be one car at a time, only to come to a screeching halt in front of the line at the light, as I'm yelling "what are you doing???", expecting her to slow down. Her response: "I was trying to make the green light."

Silly child. Bunny says hello.
