I cannot express how bored I am. Houston is closed, the storm didn't hit us much and there is nothing to do. I am locked in my house with nothing but schoolwork, and even that gets tedious after a while (I've written lesson plans for the next month, caught up on my personal homework and wrote some exams). And to make matters worse, HISD is closed Monday and Tuesday of next week so I am stuck in boredom for a longer period of time. Plus this screws up my lesson plans and I have to figure out what to do...
Houston is fine, by the way. Not much damage, just some wayward branches and leaves and other random tree parts. But the problem Houston is going to face is the reverse evacuation - and we still don't have gasoline!! I blame Katrina. If Katrine never hit, the panic would never have been caused and we would be ok.
God, I hope we're back to normal soon. I can handle HISD being closed Monday and Tuesday, but only if there are alternative forms of entertainment, such as the Galleria being open or perhaps a movie theatre. Also, maybe Starbucks is damaged - I told them I'd come in and help them clean the place up.
Did I mention how bored I was? I am about to embark on game two of Scrabble with my mother. I'll keep you posted...
Oh, and Super Evacuee Man and his family are still in the hotel - squished into one room. I shouldn't be complaining about my boredom (in comparison with what theirs might be), but I can't help it. But they are handling it far better than I would be. I'd have suffered from an emotional breakdown by now.
