BSG Comes to an end?!

I'm watching the news and see that Hurrican Rita is now a cat 4 hurricane. Hopefully it will miss LA and head more to TX. Not that I dislike Texans just that New Orleans doesn't need the additional hassles. Here in Jacksonville we are again getting feeder band storms from Rita but they are nothing more then a regular afternoon shower for us. I don't think there has been any severe weather in the area in days. In my ten years of living here the only storm that was supposed to come close was Floyd and that ended up about 400 miles away from here. I do remember thinking that I was scared. Now last year we did have some bad weather with all the storms that landed in the Tampa Bay area. Power outages and stuff but again, nothing like what New Orleans and the other areas are going through. Power outages in the house for 4 days was nothing now if I look back. I could still travel in my car less then a mile and have power, running water and a hot meal. I know we should always be thankful for what we have. I think sometimes we over look our "blessings". The grass is always greener on the otherside until you get over there...right?

Less then a month before I head to Michigan for my homecoming. I'm so excited to see my friends. I can't believe it's been 14 years since I attended CMU. I'm old...I don't feel old...but I'm sure the "kids" in my current classes think I am.

Speaking of that...there is one girl in my class who is...well..how can I say..clueless. I know we are "learning" ASL but she is really backwards on everything. When a sign goes up..she goes down..if it is on the chin she goes on the forehead. She's dragging us down. I really want to ace this class and get as much as I can from it. Is it bad to wish someone does so poorly that they drop?
