Rumblings

I got dropped off at the New Orleans Centre about an hour before my English class today. I did the usual breakfast, browse video game store thing. Class was fine. We spent some time discussing the hurricane that’s approaching the gulf coast. After English Class, Ann met me for lunch. I think this was the first time we ate elsewhere from Purple Roses. After finishing my sub we got a quick ride to the medical school down the street, it was raining right before we left. I stopped into the bookstore to say hi. I thought about buying an umbrella but decided to take my chances instead. I caught the 2:15 shuttle uptown. I bought my info. systems book today, $70 used. Ouch. The poster sale was still going on so I browsed that for a bit, and actually bought something. I then made my way to the computer lab, where I broke my headphones. I had lots of time to kill so I thought I’d try and fix them. There was a woman in the computer lab with a lot of questions that I answered over about an hour while I was failing to fix my headphones. I ordered some replacements on Amazon. Class convened on time in the lab where I was. There was a ‘lab’ today in which we were introduced to QuickBasic and Pascal. The second half of the class was lecture in the classroom. I don’t remember much. After class I walked to the library to meet Dad and go home. I learned that hurricane Ivan was headed our way and he had already started making preparations to secure his offices. We drove out to the east to get some equipment from the east office and bought some boxes at a crowded Wal-Mart store where a good number of people were buying supplies. When I got home I started gathering some thing I wanted to take if we were to evacuate.

April 24: Festival Season
Nearly five months into the new year and here my first post of 2012. Over the last several months I lost one job and started looking for another one. I started going to the gym and exercising for the first time in my life. I thought I might lack the self discipline to keep up [...]

September 03: Denver in September
Today was the first of a five day trip to Denver with my friend Bianca. Tropical Storm Lee was moving towards the Louisiana coast today, bringing substantial but intermittent rain since yesterday. I wasn’t really worried about flight delays but I did think street flooding could keep us from the airport. The ride to the [...]

August 26: Progress
Nearly two months have passed since my last post. Seeing a June date on my homepage after all this time has finally compelled me to throw another entry on here. I had planned a nice little summary of my month of jury duty at Orleans Criminal District Court but I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm. I [...]
