That's in the air now of course because of this massive storm. Class has been canceled though. Yeehaa! Hey I'm not belittling the threat of this storm, but we might as well rejoice about whatever we get that's good. And that would be class being canceled.

Also last night me and the boyz played Risk, a game which lasted 6 hours. Good stuff. I went to church at Hosanna today with everyone else because Chi Alpha was doing the church service for them. Nick told me that I was sharing a testimony about South Africa. I was like, "yeah I can do it." I was nervous but enjoyed sharing. I made it under the 5 minute mark, only because Tollie told me I had to. Then my roomate and I decided to wash clothes this afternoon. Of course it's a madhouse at the laundromat downstairs as everyone wants to clean their clothes before we lose electricity from the storm.

Tonight the boyz are having a hurricane party. And we're doing more of this:
