Well, it has been quite the few couple of days. On Sunday night, Morehead experienced some pretty torrential flooding, especially my apartment complex, which was under about a foot of water. Since I am living on the second floor, the water didn’t make it up to my place, which was shockingly a bit of a concern for a moment, as the water did start to make its way upstairs. Unfortunately, my friends’ apartment flooded, and we moved all of their stuff upstairs into our apartment, but luckily most of their stuff was salvaged. The next day, we saw how incredibly damaged all of the local businesses and other houses and apartments were. One of the guys who was helping with the cleanup said that something like this hasn’t happened since 1932. Pretty crazy.
What’s worse is that this is finals weeks for the university, and friends of mine are trying to both finish exams and straighten out their living accommodations as many of them are displaced from the flood. It’s awful to see friends who should be happy that they will be graduating on Saturday, now reduced to moving their stuff into cars and using hotel rooms until they walk across the stage this weekend. Well, I guess it happened at a hard time, but at least it wasn’t at the beginning of the semester, when it could have really made people go crazy.
As for me, still no word on any of the job prospects I had, but maybe something will come across soon. Only time will tell.
