Back to School .......

Had my first day of classes Friday and there is something to be said about college. Walking through the hallways as students rush to and from classes, the excitement in the air of new possibilities, and potential knowledge.
It made be giddy.
Though the first week consists of professors going over their syllabuses it's still fun. I had Medical Anthropology on Friday. It looks to be an interesting class that will help with writing and critical thinking.
There were threats that classes on Monday would be canceled because of Hurricane Irene but we were not hit that hard. A bit of rain and wind. My parents did loose electricity and am not sure when it will be turned on. Some areas flooded and parts of the electricity were turned off in lower Manhattan. But over all NY seems to have weathered the storm alright. A bunch of trees got knocked down in Brooklyn. But it seems like it could have been worse.
