School has been off for a week. Monday was the Remembrance Day holiday. On that day a major water main broke, and because of that, they couldn't open the school on Tuesday. It didn't get fixed in time for Wednesday. On Thursday they were going to make an announcement at 11:00 a.m. regarding opening the college for afternoon classes, of which I have none, so I ended up with another day off (they decided not to open on Thursday anyway). And lastly, on Friday, they finally opened the school, but I have no scheduled classes on that day. I'm bored. Yuu~~~
I have finals starting December 4th. I'm trying hard to convince myself to start studying now. :/
We had a hurricane on Thursday; 130 km/h winds. Power was out all across Vancouver and neighboring cities (except for here, fortunately). Trees were falling and demolishing homes and power lines (I had to have my computer unplugged so it wouldn't get fried from power surges). The winds caused our sewer systems to become flooded and therefore, our water to become contaminated. It's clear enough to use now, but for the last two days we had to rely on bottled water for hygiene and food. Fun times.
Vancouver Island (especially the Tofino side) received the bulk of the damage. I don't think Bowen was hit too bad because it's surrounded by mountains, but like you said, the power was out there, so who knows.
