Hurricane Sandy

This past week, the East Coast of the United States was plagued by hurricane by the name of Sandy. As it moved closer and closer to the Upper Valley, everyone started worrying that it would be Hurricane Irene all over again. Now, normally I would be one of those who was fearing the worst, however, I guess I didn't have the energy to worry this time. So after school yesterday, Monday, I came home after to school to find out that I had no power. There had hardly been any wind, no rain, and there were no trees down to my knowledge, so I was completely baffled as to why I had no power. But that wasn't the entire problem. The problem was that I had no idea what to do with myself. From 3:30 pm to 4 pm, I actually just stared at a wall in my room. I was so lost due to the lack of power. I had nothing to do because nothing worked in my house. I wound up doing almost all my homework at home for the first time all year and then I ended up reading by flashlight for three hours. All in all, this "hurricane" was a real pain for me, even though I never gave it much thought
