Hurricane Florence

My hurricane Florence experience definitely started out differently than many of my peers, I was already home and didn't need to stress about evacuating. The week prior I had to have a last minute emergency surgery at MUSC and flew home to Massachusetts afterwards to recover. When the college shut down I was selfishly happy because it meant I would be missing a lot less class than I had anticipated! Im thankful everything worked out for me. Due to being on bed rest I did nothing too exciting. I tracked the storm, texted friends about there evacuation, did some school work, watched some movies, but mostly slept. In between my doing nothing a lot of my high school friends moms came by with food and flowers and get well soon cards which made my mood a lot better.
Towards the end of the week however I got a wonderful surprise; ending my boredom. My friend who attends Boston College  came home for a night to visit me. Additionally my best high school friend attends Merrimack College  wich was evacuated due to gas explosions through out the area that set over 70 homes on fire in a three hour span, she was home my last weekend so we spent a lot of time together.
On my last day at home my immediate family had our cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents over. We watched the patriots game, celebrated my sisters 14th birthday and cousins 5th birthday, and ate a lot of food. I was happy my last home cooked meal was my grandmas meatballs. Although I'm extremely sad to be leaving my family, I'm happy that Florence didn't hit us to hard and that I will be able to get back to school.
