FIRES

For all those who have been watching the news, you have heard about the "Firestorm" in Southern California. The air is really smoky and ashy down here in San Diego, and the climate is very dry. I took a shower 15 minutes ago, and my hair is already dry! School has been canceled for the entire week here at UCSD, and actually in the whole of San Diego County. The fires are pretty close to the campus in the surrounding towns, but there is no immediate danger of harm to any of us here. Actually, there are only 5 of us left out of our floor of 20, because everyone panicked and paid ridiculous amounts to run home, even though they would be perfectly safe here. The campus is shut down, but the food dining commons are still open as well as the health center and the psychological and counseling centers. It is in a "state of emergency"

For now, everything is fine, and my roomates and I are enjoying ourselves, having time to relax and hang out, as well as catch up on studying before midterms next week. We have our shows that we watch on TV, and watching my Netflix movies.
Don't worry, I'm okay! : )

The only bad thing is... since we are missing a week of school, we will most likely have school extended into winter break, to make up for lost time.
