Well, classes finally start again tomorrow.
Having a week off of class has been really fun though, I've spent a fair amount of time working, ripping up carpets, moving furniture, making sandbags and such. I've also been playing some sports, pickup basketball games, and Ultimate Frisbee.

We've been assigned to read all of Psalms, instead of just the first 75.

"FLOOD NEWS as of 4:30 p.m. January 14, 2005
We continue to recover from the flash flooding on the campus last weekend. Students and staff are safe, and all utilities have been restored to the campus.
Preliminary estimates of damage are exceeding $100,000. Two residence halls had major water damage, while several other buildings on campus suffered less extensive damage.
Access to the campus is currently limited to one lane of Highway 150 between the College and Ojai; CalTrans has been working to clear remaining mud and debris. Drivers are advised to proceed with caution and with headlights on. Access between Ojai and Ventura has improved.
There is no access to the College from Santa Paula on Highway 150. The road has been seriously undermined and is closed for the indefinite future. Do not attempt to access the campus by foot or bicycle by this route as a portion of the road could collapse at any time.
Classes will resume on Monday, January 17 at 8:30 a.m., and College offices will be open and operating."
