Well as everybody knows we had that huge storm a couple days ago that covered the ENTIRE midwest as well as northern east coast. I heard of places getting over 2 FEET of snow during the storm. Down here in Chuck town most of the snow went right over us (maybe 3 inches???) but what did hit us was ice.
Now I'm not one to normally complain about storms as the geek in me comes out whenever mother nature throws her weight around, but the weather man needs to learn to be a bit more accurate with his claims. "1/4 inch of ice" is what he called for, with as much sleet and ice as we got we EASILY were up to 3/4 if not 1 inch of ice. Cars were literally stuck in their spots in my parking lot. Ironically enough the power never went off untill after the storm had already passed. I'm still not quite sure what happened but some 10,000 people were without power on Thursday. Thats a huge amount saying we have a grand total of 12,000 people living in Charleston (not including students of course). Eastern was able to keep it's power somehow with only a few flickering lights that I noticed.
As many of you who follow my blog are fellow CP hopefuls you will undoubtedly already know that acceptance letters are starting to arrive in full effect. A large group of people who had their phone interviews a day before me have now been accepted, I'm hoping this means that my letter/e-mail will arrive early-ish next week (if not later today ::fingers crossed::). At this point it's almost time for me to sign up for fall classes so I just need to know if I need to signup for some actually classes or sign up for the "internship credit."
Hopefully my next post will have a picture of me with my acceptance letter!!
