Tornados

Due to the weather, my roommate and I finally just got our power back. We are still freezing, and select outlets work. The outlets in her room, my room, and the dinning room don’t work. There was a power surge on Tuesday and a bunch of our lights are busted and our TVs won’t work. I remember on Tuesday that I heard a lot of noise outside my apartment so I went down stairs to see what it was and all of the residents in the apartments were outside. I live in only an eight apartment complex, and we all finally got to meet each other. At one point we highly considered having a cook out, because my neighbor Josh had a grill and we figure all our food would spoil if we left it in the fridge. However, it was about 1:00 in the morning and we were all tired. I don’t mind not having a TV, and I can live without a computer; but living without power is the worst. It was cold and my cat would try to knock over the candles. Ashley, my roommate, and I had to eat out the last few days since we couldn’t use to stove either. So I tried authentic Ethiopian food for the first time, and I did like it mostly because I could eat with my hands. There was a poster in the restaurant of a very pretty girl with necklaces and at the bottom it said, “13 days of sunshine.” I want 13 days of sunshine and NO tornados!

Aww well I am sorry to heart about your power outage. I was actaually wishing that Richardon Dorm's power would stay out for about 5 more hours because then I bet school maybe would have been canceled!? haha That brings back many memories of sitting in cold dark houses during ice storms!
