Fires

Last week I was part of the California firestorm. This firestorm gave me the opportunity to reflect a lot about what I am doing with my career and school. For me, I felt as if my life was a whirlwind. This event gave me a perspective on life and caused me to figure out my priorities.

When we were evacuated, I had to immediately think of what to bring. Well honestly, the first thing on my list was my laptop. Honestly, that is my life right now. If anything ever happened to it,I would have a hard time coming back. The second thing I broungt/lugged around was all of my books for OMET. I know books can be purchased again, but all of the hard work and time that I spent into reading and writing those books, all of my valuable thoughts would be lost.

In the end, everything was okay, but I can say that the fire experience was a trying experience. I was stressed out at work for the few days after we had come back. We were on inclement weather and the kids were not allowed to go outside for the rest of the week for recess and lunch. I am just happy to say that I am happy that it is over!
