July 21st , 2007 was a typical English summer’s day — it rained for 24 hours! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I lift work at 5 pm, however, the road into our village was flooded. Our house bad never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water . We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be torn off the walls, ceilings pulled down.

At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community（社区）.We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbors, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that.

Although-our situation was very bad, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought , “We didn’t have a straw hut（茅草房）that was swept away , and our house is still sanding . We’re lucky .”

We moved back home in August. With December coming, there’s reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I can’t wait — I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support . This year, I won’t need any gifts — living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions . Although we are replacing things , there’s really no rush — we have our home back , and that’s the main thing .

It was the second semester of my freshmen year. After several drinks, a group of friends and I went out looking for a patty. The Only problem was that it was a dry campus tier weekend. But we still managed to find an off-campus party that was kicking. I still have no clue how I got there.

When we got there, the party was already in full swing. They had a bar in a separate room in the house and roommate and I walked right over to it as soon as we saw it. And man, did they have cheap drinks So we were like "yeah let's have a few." Of course at that point we weren't thinking about how we were going to get back to our dorm.

After two whiskey sours and two screw drivers, I was gone. I didn't realize that I was drunk until I hit my head on (the hard part of the couch) and felt absolutely no pain. One of my friends was trying to take my money away so I couldn't buy any more to drink. Not that it would have mattered anyway, as I was sneaking sips from other people' s drinks by then.

An hour later, I was completely drunk, and we made a group decision to leave the party. One problem, though, no one knew how to get home, so I drunkenly said" I know how to get home. Thanks for the great party!"

Of course, no one offered to walk us back. I guess they though that 8 girls, including 2 who were completely trashed, would be fine walking alone back to campus. And I guess they believed my drunken rambling, who knows.

Luckily, I have a pretty good sense of direction and we walked the 4 to 6 blocks back to campus. My roommate and I couldn't walk that well so the walk seemed to take forever. Once we got back to campus, however, we met up with this guy who was going to take us to another frat party just off campus (across the street from campus, actually). I was all pumped to go but--first things first---all of us had to pee.

So we stopped in a nearby dorm. One of my friends went in first and ended up overflowing the toilet (the funny thing is that she was stone sober). My drunk roommate and I then decided that we had to really pee and that we would just go back to our dorm.

So the two of us wandered back to our dorm, making a short stop at the emergency

phone to call a friend and tell hex that we were drunk. After that, we managed to get back to our dorm, without any problems.
