Calm before the storm

Right now, I'm sitting at my computer burning a CD for Chris and looking for music I want Gemini Blvd to do (side note: I want to learn how to VP, preferably from the guy wearing number 55). I'm also waiting for this "intense storm" to hit, probably knock out my power thus leaving me internet-less and forcing me to read the chapter I have due in Diversity tomorrow. Right now, it's calm outside. No wind, no rain, nothing. I find this kind of weather oddly relaxing. Knowing that something intense and scary is coming soon while also knowing that after the storm, everything will be okay. It's kind of like God is reminding us that, even though scary times lie ahead, He will always be with us.

I'm currently apartment/house hunting in the Orlando area. It's a very exciting and scary process! It's also a lot harder to find a good, safe place than I thought it would be. Apparently, all the apartments near the university are dangerous. People have been known to get mugged, robbed, raped, and killed. Scary!!!! I think my friends and I are going to try to avoid apartments altogether and look for a house. That way, we can control how much we pay each month and we don't have to worry about getting assaulted. (which is always a good thing).

I'm definitely ready to move out to Orlando. While I do love living at home, I want to be closer to the action. It's a pain in the butt to have to drive to campus every time something is happening and I feel bad always asking to sleepover at friend's houses. And even when I do move, I'll still be close to home. I can drive home whenever I want to see my family or need a T-ville fix. (does anyone really need a t-ville fix??).

Anyway, the CDs are done now and the wind seems to be picking up, so I guess I should log off and unplug everything so I don't get electrocuted or something like that.
