After 5 days of literally not seeing the sun, you can imagine my body rejecting the sun this morning as I walked up to the stadium to get my football ticket. I had cabin fever for a good 13 hours while the power was out. Here are some thoughts all of us had during Hurricane Irma's lovely stay in Gainesville.
1. How many Netflix shows can I finish before the power goes out?
I think I binge watched five different shows until I got sick of watching television.
2. How many PopTarts can I eat for breakfast without feeling sick?
When the power was out, all we could eat for breakfast was PopTarts.
3. Is this milk still drinkable?
We stared at the fridge for a while trying to figure out what we needed to throw out. Only a few Publixes were open yesterday for some food.
4. I guess I'll be eating cold pasta for lunch since there's no power.
When there's no electricity, that means no microwave. Even though we had pre-made food, that didn't mean we could heat it up.
5. Should I throw a hurricane party or hide in my closet when the eye wall comes through Gainesville?
Hurricane parties are awesome but is this really going to be a Cat 5?
6. Is anything in this town delivering right now?
We were starving on Monday but nothing had power.
7. What food is open now I'm starving?
Like above thought, nothing was open except for Domino's and KFC on Archer Road.
8. I can't believe the power is still out.
After 13 hours, it is safe to say we had a serious case of cabin fever.
9. When will the gym be open again?
After 5 days, I am in desperate need of the gym.
10. How haven't I met any of those GPD cops all over my FaceBook feed?
I think it's safe to say GPD is officially internet famous and I have been asked 589430439 times if I have met any of the officers.
11. Is this Hurricane seriously going to be a Category 4?
Besides watching Anderson Cooper report on the hurricane for 48 hours (does the man ever sleep?), our other source of entertainment was figuring out where Irma was off to next.
12. Can classes get cancelled for one more day?
As much as I need something to do besides sit in my apartment, I also love our mini fall break.
13. Do you think they'll move my exams?
Although they moved our classes, will they move our exam dates?
14. Ok seriously when is the hurricane going to be over?
I've been prepped since Tuesday and half my hurricane snacks were gone by Sunday. When is Irma coming again?
