so, as re: the last entry (locked), I'm still in considerable distress, especially since the university CLOSED the last two days, and thus my source of medical care. >:[
I'm determined to do something tomorrow or ELSE.
anyways, monday afternoon, it started sleeting in the afternoon, so yay no school tuesday. Then it rained all day tuesday so no school wednesday. then tuesday night, it snowed, so yayfun.
Anyways, we've traipsed around the university sliding and skidding and having general chilly fun time, but I'm ready to have something to do again. I'm really unbelievably bored at this moment, which is probably why I'm making this post.
Anyways, the ice is of a magnitude that there were significant power outages and tree splittings. There are several stop lights that are just dark (Even at 5 lane intersections, five lanes in both directions). Lots of people have been without power, and my dorm is hosting some, but the most here has been the lights flickering some. They closed down the elevators as a precaution, so theres been lots of bellyaching over that.
At home, my parents were without power for several hours, relying on the space heaters (propane) to keep warm. I told them not to get rid of the wood stove! they have power now, at least.
In a fit of angry exertion, I de-iced my car this afternoon so stu and I were able to go on a drive and survey the greater countryside.
This evening after dinner, our dinner party went on an excursion around the school grounds, infiltrating the various lawns and engineering buildings. We found a couple of here-unnamed staff using their office monitors for certain recreational activities ;) They didn't have power at their home, which is why they were at the office, so we hung out and shot the breeze and ate a lot of candy which was local.
we wound our way around a lot of broken tree branches, and explored more unlocked buildings. Afterwards, I reclaimed a cup of diet coke I'd left outside towards the beginning of the expedition, and the top had frozen over, rendering it undrinkable! Well, for a while.
Anyways, while we haven't been in school, I've been playing guitar hero, world tour, and I've gotten a lot better. I can actually do hammer-ons and pull-offs now, for example. I think i've completed about 40% of the game on Hard.
Tomorrow I need to catch up on laundry and homework. *lesigh* And medical issues ;)
