An Unbelievable Experience!

Wow! That is all I can say about the last few weeks. We have been out for the past 3 weeks now, missing two full weeks of classes! This is all due to the Flood of 2009, and its not even over yet. They expect it to crest again at or above the record level it reached earlier this spring (about a week ago). It is truly amazing to think about what has come about from this whole situation. So many people have shown up to help with this whole deal. The number of volunteers was astronomical. I will never forget the goods times I had with total strangers "on the dikes." Most everyone was in a good mood, even with the river mere feet from their homes. Food was plentiful, people were friendly and energetic, and most of all, they came in huge numbers. People from all over showed up to help. I hear of people from California, Nashville, and everywhere in between. They say we filled enough sandbags to completely go around the Empire State Building! With all the bad things that came out of this flood, I think the best things that came out of was truly AWESOME this community and the nation really is. Besides, now they can't say my generation is lazy and selfish, because as they have been saying from the start, the college students saved Fargo-Moorhead! Well, back to work for me, Stay Classy!
