Blown Away

Last night was absolutely terrible. I didn’t get to sleep until around 4 a.m. in the first place and was woken up less than an hour later by the insane amount of wind going on outside. The screens on my windows were shaking, things were blowing around outside and it was basically pandemonium outside from 5-9. I literally had to dodge a flying shingle as I made my way up to school this morning.

Tonight we can really see the damage. Many units have shingles missing or torn up from the roof and scattered all over the ground and parking lot. We lost a shutter off of my rommate Bri’s window and it landed by our other roommate’s car (could have VERY easily hit mine but thankfully it didn’t).

Naturally the crappy weather and lack of sleep are doing nothing for me being sick. If anything, it’s just making it worse. I’ve got so much built up sinus pressure that I feel like my head is going to explode. I haven’t been this sick for a while so I guess it was just my time. And of course I’d get sick the same week I leave for Texas. Just another way for the world to look down and say “HA HA”.

But I’m going to go. I’m going to get on the plane and not have a panic attack. I’m going to see my cousin and have a good time. I’m going to see Wonderland and love it. I’m going to have a great time. Because I refuse for it to be any other way.
