Anniversary Weather

Last year, on January 26th I believe, I experienced some of the worst weather of my life. There was a huge ice storm that broke tree limps and downed power lines. I didn't have power for 4 or 5 days. My wife and I had to stay with some friends who graciously let us invade their lives for a couple days. It was terrible.

So, when the weather was calling for another storm this year, almost on the anniversary of last year's, it was no wonder that people got freaked out. We stocked up with groceries and waited for the storm. We got a pretty big one. An inch of ice with 6 or 8 inches of snow (see picture above, Dickson St before it got real bad) on top of that. But, our electricity never went out, so it really hasn't been that bad. We got a little stir crazy today so we went to Hugo's (a Fayetteville staple) to grab a burger, and then we went bowling. Winter Storm 2010 was way more fun than Winter Storm 2009.

It has been harder and harder to concentrate on school. Getting a job has become priority number one, so hopefully that happens sooner rather than later so I can stop worrying about it and concentrate on having some fun before I re-enter the workforce. Not that my classes aren't interesting, especially Strategic Management. We've not had a course focused just on business strategy, so it is pretty interesting.
