Day two of the Winter Zombie Apocalypse and I’m still without power. It’s now been over 48 hours and yesterday morning I decided to come to what’s called a Warming Center. After waking up at and it being ONE degree yesterday morning I said no ma’am I got’s TO GO ! But basically the Warming Center is a place where you can warm up, charge your devices, and have hot food. The one I’m at is actually a senior citizen center and it’s pretty nice. I brought a comforter with me and everything I’d need to stay the night. Based on the update from my apartment complex it looks like I’ll be here another night or two as the power still has not come back on. Overall, my experience has been okay at the Warming Center. I have eaten good thanx to the locals who have brought in Chick-fil-A, pizza, lasagna, desserts, chips, chili, and gourmet grilled cheese. Someone even brought in heaters. Lord, it felt so good to eat something hot. I am so thankful, I might not be in my warm apartment but I am safe which is all that matters. I’m documenting my time here and hopefully I’ll have a video for you this Saturday. Recently, I did a video on Adult Daily Living Skills: Winter Safety Tips and I would say that I prepared pretty well but I honestly did not expect the power to go out. So always expect the unexpected! I also forgot about my battery bank for my cellphone and by the time I found it I couldn’t charge it up. Other than that I would say I was as prepared as I could be. My biggest worry now is all of my groceries that will most likely have to be thrown out and considering I just went grocery shopping last week Ms. Duggan is not too thrilled about that.
It’s my favorite time of the semester…REFUNDS! A few weeks after the semester begins all of your financial aid pays out and if there’s any left over you get a refund! You will know that your receiving a refund if there’s a negative balance on your account. It’s the one time in history where you actually want to see a negative balance! Figure 1: This is a thumbnail of my latest YouTube video where I am in my office with a surprised look on my face. This semester I paid $241 in fees and I received a $500 grant for individuals who work at community colleges. Oh yeah did I mention I work at a community college too part time as a tutor? Anyhoo, since I had already paid off my student account I received the $500 as a refund. If you’ve been watching my YouTube videos or reading my blogs then you already know this money is going to debt. Figure 2: This is a photo of three $100 bills and three $50 bills. With refunds posting to accounts daily you want to make sure that you are constantly c
