Hurricane Dennis

Hello from Hurricane Land. You know I swear one of these days I'm going to go somewhere where they don't have hurricanes!! The worst has passed us by at this point. It's still really dark and raining, but the storm is off the coast and heading for Jamaica. I think we got hit with the worst of it last night. It was raining and SOOO windy. Mami didn't think we'd have classes today, but...we did. Oh well, no hurricane days here I guess. Now I'm worried about Mom.

So, life back home is kind of rough, from what I hear. I'd appreciate it if you guys could keep some people in your prayers. Chad's (a friend of mine) dad is going through some rough times with a previous brain injury that's acting up. He's out of the hospital, now, but it's been very taxing on Chad. They Joe's (my ex-boyfriend) mom apparently had an emergency operation. I haven't talked to him (not really wanting to). He sent me a text message asking for my prayers with limited details. Our professor's father is gravely ill and in the hospital here. My friend Brian is getting ready to take a new job in Maryland, far from his FL home. Tracy's still struggling with job issues. My friend Jensen is currently in London, about two blocks away from where the bombings happened. He's fine, but all the phone lines are down and I'm sure it's rather stressful. So...if you could say an extra pray for all of them and for Mom to be kept safe, I'd really appreciate it.

I guess that's about it for now. I'm pretty beat--time for lunch and a nap!! Hope everyone back home is safe and sound. Love ya'll!!
