All is Well

Hurricane Irene is long gone and all is well. There really wasn't any damage, just a bunch of tree limbs that came down. Our basement flooded some as well. The horses were safe and dry in the barn during the whole thing. Our electricity didn't even go out during the main part of the hurricane; it did go out for a couple of hours afterwards when it was just windy. But, it was kind of surprising that it didn't go out before that; our electricity usually goes out during even the smallest storms. (We were having problems connecting to the internet though.) We were under a tornado watch during the night; there were a few tornadoes in our state, but none near us. Thankfully the hurricane weakened and it wasn't as bad a they were originally predicting. There is still a lot of people with out power, and a lot of areas are still flooded though.

Classes were supposed to start today, but because of the hurricane, they will not start until Thursday. I don't mind though; it gives me extra time to get prepare. I still need to get everything ready. I will be going into my junior year of college, and I'm majoring in animal science. I have no idea what I exactly want to do with my degree (I don't want to be a vet,) but I know I want to do something with animals. Hopefully my classes this semester aren't too hard, and I'll be able to get good grades. My classes also end a whole lot earlier in the day, so I'll have more time to ride than I did last year. :)
