I flew back from a week long spring break in Seattle yesterday, and to my great delight I found 50 degree weather and most of the snow melted in North Dakota! Unfortunately, that boon is met with the backside of the monkey’s paw in the form of massive flooding. In fact, when I flew in fields were replaced by lakes, roads replaced by rivers, and we may actually beat a record in 1897 for the amount of flooding this year! We are getting pretty boxed in- The east/west interstate I-94 is closed between us and Fargo, and so is the north/south one, I-29. Volunteers are needed everywhere, and water is coming up everywhere.

Needless to say, school is closed “until further notice”- and the president of the university closed the school himself, calling for all students at NDSU to volunteer to help with the flood prevention. This has left me in a slightly tricky spot- especially since my routine has been thrown off, and my schoolwork getting farther behind. I guess there isn’t much you can do about the weather though!
