The past few days have been a rough one for New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. There is a Hurricane called Hurricane Sandy coming in and around. I still remember the days of the Hurricanes back then like Hurricane Irene and Hurricane Katrina. It is always a devastation whenever this happens. There has been power loses going on in other places. Back in my hometown of Parsippany, New Jersey it has been without power since yesterday morning. The one thing that my mom and the friends at home are living on is just surviving on their own. They just use candles and flashlights to get to the different spots of the house. Boy am I glad we don't live in a Colonial house otherwise it would be terribly bad for them. Our house has a brook behind it but luckily we have to go and walk down a long hill in order for us to get there. I sure am glad that river is NOT rising up otherwise it would definitely flood our entire street which wouldn't be good at all. I remember last year Lower Lk. Hiawatha all had most of their homes destroyed due to the flood and you were able to canoe out there and it was very devastating for most residents.

Here at Messiah yesterday we had classes cancelled for the whole day. I remember learning about it on late Sunday Night at about 9:30 pm. We were all waiting all day Sunday to see whether the classes would even get cancelled or not. It was a weird one on us because all the other Colleges were having their classes cancelled completely for 2 days straight while ours were still making a decision. I was desperate in finding out and hoping it would be cancelled. Then suddenly about 9:30 pm I heard screams of YEAH! from my floor. I wondered what was going on then one minute later I receive a text that states that Classes were Cancelled for good! That moment I Screamed at the top of my lungs and ran out to celebrate with the floor. After that I went more crazy and ran to the floor connected to my floor where my friends were and ran down the hall screaming crazily. It was hilarious and awesome even though some people on that floor were idiots thinking I was only joking when IT WAS REAL! But yes I got to stay up that night and go to bed a bit late. On the positive note I was surprisingly already done with just about all of my work and could relax. So I spent most of yesterday relaxing for a really good amount of the day. I studied a bit for Bible but theres more work so I'll be spending today doing it I guess LOL!

Now I learned that Jersey Shore has flooded and now all the streets are literally flooded for good. Wildwood, Seaside Heights, Atlantic City, Cape May, and Sandy Hook are basically all gone. It looks as if it is devastating and sad because it was once there and I had been there back when I was younger. In fact I was at Wildwood for Prom Weekend and at Seaside Heights this past Summer for a fun High School Reunion drinking and hanging out. Now I just can't believe the boardwalk is flooded according to the pictures I saw. Even New York City is flooded and I don't know what will happen with it all. Seven years ago Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana and now it devastates New Jersey. I still don't understand why some people down in South Jersey/Jersey Shore wouldn't evacuate at all and some are stupid to go to the Shelters like what the AC Mayor says. But Rest In Peace to Jersey Shore I'll miss you a ton!

No Classes Tomorrow WHOO-HOO YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great way to end the weekend Lol! Well after going buckwild I lost my voice ugh. But yes it has been an okay weekend. I spent most of it sleeping in and working on homework and studying and working at Lottie to make some good money. I now know what I will do with myself next semester when I work at Lottie. I will work another time and another shift instead of the Dishroom because it is just so dirty and smelly in there. No wonder I smell really bad when I work there. I  also get wet and in fact I got really all wet yesterday. It is the grossest place I worked and now I do wish the semester could be over so I could work in another part in fact a new time instead of on the weekends. It really does take up a lot of free time.

I really can't believe that Hurricane Sandy is really striking us hard now. It took Messiah All Day Long to find out whether they would cancel classes tomorrow or not. After a long day of deliberating they finally decided to cancel classes for tomorrow. The minute I saw it on Facebook and the minute Messiah texted me our whole floor was going crazy. I had no idea until a few seconds after them and we were surely happy to see that it had been cancelled. I then ran out into the hallways and celebrated with them for a while. Afterwards I went onto the floor right around the corner from me and Screamed at the top of my lungs while running down the hall. My friend Pete happened to be in a room in that hall and walked out to see what was going on. He saw me and I ran to him and hugged him screaming and spazzing out. Nic, Zak, Nick, Jon, and Flick were just laughing so hard as I was just spazzing out badly about it being cancelled at last. Whoo-Hoo! What a good way to end the weekend now time for sleeping in like a retired man in his 60s no longer working and having to get up early for his work :)!
