it just doesn't seem to want to end. how sad! between jeanne and ivan's second life, the area's getting buried again.

I'm so sick of this season already. Enough is enough!

Yeah. . . then my husband would be out of a job. . .

You guys stay safe in the path of Jeanne...!

Thanks. We'll try. :-) At least it's moving a heck of a lot faster than Frances. 12mph...I like that. :-)

OHHH and one more thing

I am very sick of continuous coverage news on ALL the free channels.. im poor and cant afford cable...but does that mean i have to watch news 24-7 until the end of the weekend.. ???

it is supposedly following nearly the same track as frances

ugh! this is getting out of hand. florida needs its time to recover. school has been so weird. anything but normal. bascially ever since school started, we had to plan around all these hurricanes. may not be a big deal, but very aggrivating. Duval County (Jacksonville) and many other counties have already had 4 student holidays taken away

Every single school district in the state has had to take at least two days off; luckily Governor Bush has waived the 180-day instruction rule for the counties worst hit by Ivan. Escambia and Santa Rosa counties have no idea when they can get back into school. The University of West Florida is closed indefinitely.

Losing 4 student holidays just doesn't seem so bad in comparison. At least most students have a school to go back to.

and no doubt, that is an awful situation to be in and i wish things were better....

but like i said, the situation up here may not be a big deal in comparison, but it is aggrivating

this is something that is changing the lives of everyone

I think Jeanne is following one of my friends. She was in Puerto Rico on vacation when it hit there, and now that she's back in MD she might just get a second dose of it... although it obviously won't be that bad by the time it gets up here. Still, even if it just does what Ivan did to us, that's bad enough!

Yeah, we have to go to school on Saturdays because of Frances. Our campus was so badly damaged that we didn't have class 9/2-9/13. Now here comes the Sunday classes....

I'm tired of the hurricanes. Up here in PA, we usually get the remnants (even though I remember in 2000, we got Floyd while it was still a Tropical Storm) and after all of the flooding from Ivan, we need a short break. My heart and prayers go out to all of the Floridians and everyone else dealing with this.

I'll agree that these hurricanes are really frustrating to students. It's interfering with studies and adding onto the already high stress levels. My boyfriend is trying to graduate in May, and oceanphi01 is graduating in December. It makes it hard to study for tests and do homework assignments when you're having to evacuate every other weekend.
