Oxford Black Out: Day 3

Thankfully the power came back this morning, that's much better than the originally predicted week of no power. 

Yesterday morning the storms had passed but since classes were cancelled I went to the barn to check on the kids. They were fine and Mama Gwen had coffee-- sweet sweet coffee. We cleaned the barn up a little and then I came back to campus. 

Kimi had a lunch fire going at her house so I went over there after trying to go to the library. King was being run on generators so there was electricity but no climate control. Me leaving again immediately equals half the student body who can't unplug from their computers for a day + 90 degrees and assey smelling. 

We went on a bike ride to scope out uptown again and i went home to do some work for a minute and wash my hair, then we met back up at the campfire for dinner. It was delicious. 

After we all zipped uptown on bikes again [Maria rode on the back of the girl bike it was great] because Pat Otto had called about a "protest" of tuesday's classes outside president hodges house. Well, it ended up being about 500 students and 55 cop cars. Closest thing to a riot this campus has seen in years. There were signs [study or survive?], chants [no power, no class], and guys in trees. Nothing was really accomplished but i'm still proud of the student body for doing something together for once. 

I'm glad that so far as i know no one reverted to cannibalism, although that blood drive today did seem rather well timed...
