Troubles in the bayou
It seems as though one of the places I'd always wanted to visit, won't be the same, ever again. I'm talking of course, about New Orleans. I've been to many cities and states in the US. 28 states to be exact, and I've been to (or through) such major cities as Washington, Chicago, New York, Baltimore, Kansas City, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Atlanta and of course Orlando where I currently reside. Yet of all these place, the one place I've ALWAYS wanted to go to… was in fact, New Orleans.
So as such, I'm rather down and out about New Orleans current condition, of which by now I'm sure you no doubt no about. I consider myself fairly lucky, as I was in fact part of this historic disaster. While Katrina was still Category 1/Tropical Storm, and made it's way across Florida, it caused about a whole 10 minutes of heavy rain in Winter Park while I took a final exam at school. So yes, I was in fact, in this hurricane. Additionally, after last years nasty season I'm glad that at least so far, Orlando has been unaffected by this Hurricane Season.
I don't have TV, and I get my news via the internet. But still, from what I've seen. It's horrible. Terrible, and I can't stand to watch any of it anymore. I'm doing my part to aid in the cheapest manner I can. I now walk to school. Granted this may not seem like much, but I'm not wasting gas to go a 1/2 mile to school. I'm too poor to be donating anything to the cause. So, if you can please do so yourselves. There are thousands of people whose lives are now gone. Do your part.
