The last 24-hour period has provided some of the most incredible weather so far this year in Watertown and southern Wisconsin. Semester finals began yesterday, so I stayed up until around 2:30 last night to study for my American Masterpieces exam. Around 1:30, the storm rolled in with heavy rain, rapidly repeating lightning, and thunder that quaked the dorm. The power flickered gentle a couple of times and then finally the lights went out for a couple of seconds. I studied on, enjoying the theatrics.
The American Masterpieces exam was scheduled to begin at 7:30 this morning. I meant to wake up around five o’clock to supply myself with an another healthy hour of cramming, but didn’t will myself out of bed until closer to 6:30. That was fine though; I really didn’t feel much like studying much more for that test. So I put myself through the usual paces with the daily shave, shower, and prep work to set foot outside of Spurgeon dorm…
