Despite rumours to the contrary, I did manage to survive Hurricane Frances. I never even lost power, though I did lose internet for a few days. I've just been so busy with school and the whole college thing, I haven't had any time or motivation to update. Anyways, shortly after I typed that last entry is when it began lightly raining, and by the time morning rolled around it was pouring and gusting wind. As I said we never lost power (had a few power surges though) but most of Gainesville was without it, some for 3-5 days. I created a webpage of various pictures of before and after, which can be seen here. There wasn't widespread mass destruction and choas up in Gainesville, but it did make a lot of people's weeks not very fun.
And speaking of the weather, a cold front must have moved through because it was pretty chilly this morning and most of the day. Not that the buses cared since they still kept the AC on full blast, freezing everyone. I really need to start bringing a pullover to class since they keep the classrooms really cold as well. That or I trully am becoming a Floridian and anything less than 90 with 75% humidity is chilly.
Career Showcase is this week, meaning lots and lots of events and networking sessions and two days of dressing up and doing mini-interviews. I never enjoy these kinds of things, but it's just the nature of the beast and once you get a job it makes it all worth it. I'm also going to be tabling with the company I worked for over the summer, since they'll be there, so I get a chance to swap roles a little bit during the day. And there's always lots of free food at all the events, so that's always cool.
I visited the brand new UF Butterfly Rainforest on Thursday for free, and it was really really cool. Lots and lots of flowers everywhere, and hundreds of butterfly's, of all kinds of species, flying about. It's one of those things I'm really going to miss about college.
