yesterday, i received an email from SCAD talking about the upcoming bad weather.

i didn't think it was any serious and just shrugged it off. 

today, i received 2 emails from them, a text message, a phone call from them about it. the tornado warnings sounded TWICE (mind u...it is soooo annoying i got a horrible headache from it.) they sent all our residence assistant to warn us to hide in our bathrooms. 

storm and tornado clouds looming. the deep, dark, ominous apocalyptic storm cloud looming over savannah. the photo does no justice. but i do like that hopefull little patch of light.

facebook game : SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!

just minutes later....the rain is so heavy the bridge has disappeared! weather in savannah is drastic. one moment it was ominous but DRY. i just turned to face my computer and next thing i know it's STORMING outside. after admiring the storm for a while i went back to my ladeedaas only to find it completely dry moments after. -__-

then...the news hit:

THE TORNADO HAS ARRIVED IN DOWNTOWN SAVANNAH!

whoot. excitingness.

except i didn't see it at all :S

not because i was in my bathroom. in fact, i was sitting right by my window the whole entire time! (talk about being safety conscious. then again, SCAD students were running outside snapping pictures of the beautiful ominous sky. welcome to art school)

sooo while some people said they saw it, i still don't think it came. the sky was too peaceful and nothing looked disturbed. even the trees are still. like not even a storm has passed. the calm after the storm? i thought it happened before the storm. oh well *shrugs*

went house/apartment visiting today with naomi. the woes of being 2 completely vehicleless is endless. we dun even have bicycles and had to rely on our two little feet to carry us back and forth around savannah. out of the 4 houses we visited, 1 was awesomely beautiful and cosy and worth dying to live in. it's furnished and safe and cheap. the owners live right upstairs with their dogs so we can run to them anytime we need help. it's like having dorm parents without the bothersome nagging. :D

the next one was just downright grossly moldy and unlivable. that was a definite no no. 

the next one we saw was pretty decent. the same cost as the first, but 3 times the size. it's nice, if not for the fact that it had a disgusting stove and laundry room that was shared with 3 other houses and smelt like shit. 

the last one was a decent bachelor's pad. not beautifully attractive, but definitely livable in. 

so thus we have found possible places to live in. one problem down.

2 more pops up. 

naomi is going back for the summer. ie. i have to pay the whole rent, including her half, over summer. that's 3 mnths. that is possible for me to pay, if 

a) the housing rental is less than $800, including utilities (heating and air, electric, water, gas, garbage, cable and internet). 

or

b) the rental place has 2 rooms so we can rent her room out. 

BUT, this is not the case for any one of them :( 

another problem. she talked to her dad and she just realised that she has $4500 from scholarship for her housing. which means her dad might not agree to her living off campus where it is more expensive for her. 

so if she can't live off campus, it's back to square one for me

WOE WOE WOE IS MEEEEEE :(
