School lately has been an absolute bear, I have very little time anymore, what little time I do have, I spend writing... I need the world to stop for like a solid week so I can catch up on everything.

Ike has come all the way to Chicago. We have had rain for several days straight. We got 10 inches. I don't know how people do it who actually go through the hurricanes. All this rain is too much and we are half the country away. We got 6 inches in our basement. Our basement is unfinished and just used for storage, but it was packed to the gills. Now my sister and I have the auspicious job of going through and throwing out oodles and oodles of stuff. What fun. I am hiding in my room doing this instead of facing the basement.

Auuggghhh! Better face the music.
Blah!
