Gustav

Wow! I can't believe it's been two weeks (more, really) since I posted last. Let me tell you, it's been a bit busy around Casa Kelsey, and it's only going to get busier.

There are a few reasons for my lack of posts recently. First, med school is eating my life. Second, med school is LITERALLY EATING MY LIFE! Third, Laurel visited for a bit more than a week, and as she is one of the three (ok, two) regular readers of this little blog, I thought it would be a bit silly to write about her stay while she was sitting right next to me.

Four, and most importantly:
Hurricane, anyone? You know, it has been a bit dry down here, and I've been saying for days that my plants could use a little rain. And really, a few more days off of school would be quite welcome right about now. About time for a few rainy study days, wouldn't you agree?

But in all seriousness kids, this blog might just get a little more interesting right around Monday midday. Or even more silent than normal. Tulane is closing classes and putting out an evac notice until next Thursday. They have lots emergency procedures, all of which work very well--they had a practice run a few years ago, you see.

So I'm buckling down for my very first hurricane. I'm staying, dammit, at least until I absolutely have to leave. Andrew's going to be covering the thang for the paper, and what kind of gal would I be if I didn't stick around with him? Worse comes to worse, I'll drive to Dallas and stay with family.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. More hurricane updates soon, I promise. At least as long as the power holds out. Nighty night!
