School is now in Session

OH HEY INTERNET

It's been a while since I last said hello. Mostly because my life went to hell for a short while and I wasn't really sure what was going to happen, but everything is OKAY NOW AND I AM BACK AT SCHOOL.

Yes, the last time I posted was in July and it is now towards the end of September! I kind of feel like Allie from Hyperbole.

Except without the thousands of followers and brilliant blog posts.

ANYWAY

So Summer has been over for a while and right before I left for school Hurricane Irene hit and kind of did a decent amount of damage to the East Coast. It's alright though, where I live was okay. The only problem was that a large amount of people lost power, myself included. Now overall that isn't that bad, but we lost power for 6 days.

6. DAYS.

See, I'm usually not that bad when it comes to power outages. Normally I can entertain myself through the night/day knowing that by the next day power will be back and all will be well. However, come day 3 of having no power I started to crazy. Like, legit crazy. It's kind of hard to entertain myself when everyone I know is back at school and I am alone in my house. It was not fun. On top of everything, right before Irene hit I found out my school housing had been cancelled, and since I go to school in VA that was kind of a big problem.

As we scrambled to put everything together and get me housing so I could go back to school, I ended up missing the first week of classes and had my friends constantly calling me asking why there was someone in my space and why I wasn't there. I briefly explained the situation, but not as well as I had thought. So everyone was kind of going crazy trying to get me to answer, when I was just like "Please stop calling. I'll let you know when I'm coming down."

Eventually, I came down and lived the first week of classes on my friends floor. I really hated life, but I eventually got a dorm, switched with the guy in my space and now ALL IS WELL.

It's weird though. This is he first semester since Freshman year where I have had a Friday class, and on top of the MWF don't start till 1:30. Normally I am up at 9 everyday to get ready for my 10:30 class. I mean I'm not complaining, it's just a new sensation. The projects for this year have also been a lot of fun so far, and I actually have an excuse to draw now (considering I can never just bring myself to sit down and just DRAW).

That's about all for now. I've got to go back to paying attention in class. I'll see you guys later.
