I figured I should go ahead and post. I was holding off on posting waiting for Michael to post about the weekend in Charlotte and then link himself to me like he claimed he was going to do. But that was over two weeks ago now so he has had plenty of time.
Over these past two weeks it seems all I have been doing is studying. Feels like I have had a test almost every day. For example I had one Monday, I had one last Friday, had a quiz the Tuesday before that. I have a test tomorrow and I have a test next Monday. So instead of having the normal hell week I have been having a hell month. Not that I should have expected much different from this semester. Though despite the torture things have been going fairly well. Only class I am not comfortably passing right now is Calc. II. Not that is much of a surprise either. So far Physics has still been coming to me a lot easier than I expected it to. I have been able to do almost all the homeworks with little or no trouble and the test we had in there Friday my only question is whether I aced it or not as I am positive I passed it.
To give myself a break from all the homework and studying the last two weekends I decided to go to the movies. I went and saw "The Skeleton Key" the first weekend and "The Brothers Grimm" last weekend. Both were decent movies but nether were great. I think I liked "The Brothers Grimm" more because it was a little weirder than the other one was. Also speaking of movies I was talking to my sister about how the blockbuster up here half the time doesn't have the movies I am looking for and I had mentioned to her how Michael had suggested that maybe I should look into joining on of those movie sites like Netflix that mail you movies you want in the mail and you watch them and send them back. Well Cathy is a member of Blockbusters version of that and I asked her if she thought it was worth the money. Instead of saying yes or no she offered to me instead that I could use her account to rent movies and she would send them to me. So I jumped at that opportunity and so now I have a basically free supply of movies to watch.
Also going back to my Aunt Claudia, who was hit by Hurricane Katrina, it seems my predictions were right on the money. She has been down to her place in Pass Christian, MS a few times and the news is not good. Her shop, which was about two blocks from the Gulf was pretty much completely destroyed. Her house on the other hand was left standing but that was almost the extent of the good news. During the Hurricane her house was totally submerged over the roof with water. Her house is 17 feet above sea level so you figure in the height of the house your looking at atleast 30 foot storm surge. The house is ruined along with pretty much everything inside. The one good thing was that all her breakable things in her goodie cabinet survived somehow. They believe that when the water filled the house that they just floated up and then when the water went back down the things just slowly floated back down again. The strange thing is the found the cabinet upside down. The top portion of the cabinet was on the bottom and the bottom part was on the top. I haven't heard whether she plans to rebuild or not. She would have to rebuild the shop and tear down and rebuild the house if she does. If any other news comes I will post.
