April 15 Clinton, MS was hit hard by thunderstorms, straight line winds, and most unfortunate: a terrible tornado. Many of you might have seen us on national news or the weather channel. This was the same system that killed several in Oklahoma and others in North Carolina. Clinton is just a mess-the tornado tore up several houses on Highway 80 north and several businesses off SpringRidge Road about .25 miles from my current apartment.
On a better note, I will be moving this weekend with the help of some sweet volunteers. I will be leaving Clinton and moving into Jackson to be closer to the medical school. I spent most of tonight cleaning my new place. The complex had someone clean the apartment but there's nothing like cleaning all the nooks yourself making sure there are no "cooties" haha. I "lysoled" everything! It makes me feel better to disinfect everything.
I realized that is no overhead lighting in my new bedroom-looks like I will be buying a few lamps. I have been moving a few things on my own before the big move this weekend and living on the second floor means I have been getting my leg workouts in!
Also, I bought a new couch a couple months ago (after I finally got my first real paycheck ever!) Needless to say I bought a rather large couch (it looked a lot smaller in that big warehouse) so let all hope it fits in my new apartment which is significantly smaller than the apartment I currently live in....Yikes! I'll let you now how it turns out.
