Hurricanes

A hurricane is a big mess of wind that "moves really slow and can totally fuck up your shit" (Lansing, Tropical Depressions and their Meteorological Origins, 87). Sometimes they are a thing I like, for instance when everybody gets scared of them and school is canceled for either a day or maybe a week (Rita). On the other hand, they can suck because they can destroy a city (Katrina), make you try to evacuate but give up after you get 30 miles in 11 hours (Rita), or maybe even cause problems for a move (Ike). In conclusion, it's total bullshit when a hurricane hits on a weekend because it messes up your free time, although to be fair I guess as professor I could cancel class whenever I want.

RATING: 24%

You know what else moves really slow and can totally fuck up your shit?

A turtle with a gun.

My professors always did. Most of the time they wouldn't even let us know, there'd just be a note on the door, or not even. Like 3 or 4 times we just sat there for 15 minutes and no professor showed up. Of course, that guy had tenure.

I'm sure class will be canceled tomorrow. I might get out of work, which is cool but sucks since I'm working on a deadline.

Once a hurricane flooded my college dorm room in like three inches of water. Thankfully my roommate's giant pile of dirty laundry created a dam that saved my shit from being ruined.
