I should have gone on my first instinct on signing up for a cgi class. I looked up and down, contacted customer service, and searched some more–even on my learning sandbox, relooking at past assignment to find the answer to how to create a form using html and being able to send those filled out forms to myself. I’ve used O’Reilly’s method, I’ve used the method described by the tutorials by siteground.com. I even tried about.com. ALL to NO AVAIL! I got so upset and frustrated by the end of the day that I went out to my backyard and started stomping on my garden! Don’t worry. It is just the foreground for a garden. Nothing has been planted yet. I went outside to pull out weeds so release the frustrative energy. Because of the storms last night, the soil is packed solid. That actually increased my level of frustration and permitted me to stomp all over it. I couldn’t do anything else! I was hoping my mom didn’t come curiously into the room with the windwo view towards the backyard, because I just wanted to be able to release my anger without anyone laughing or yelling at me. You nevver know my mom’s response. Anyway, she didn’t and I felt a little better. I then proceeded to go my my keyboard to use some creativity from my brain. I felt I overdid it with the repetitiveness of my tries on the internet for the cgi script. I played it loud, and I played it fun. I felt a lot better. I am so glad that there is not another storm tonight. I do feel bad for those whose homes and businesses were wrecked by the storms. Last night made me realize the intensity and the dangerousness of tornados and severe weather warnings and watches, and of course, the real thing if it happens to pounce your way (or even when it’s loominessly near.) So last night, I decided to make a plan, a preparation if you will for severe weather such as a tornado. I made a list of all the things I would need to take with me, and all the thigns that can go into the place of shelter in case any bad weather really does form and wreck this area. I plan on letting my parents in on it later, when I feel like sharing. Right now, I still do not feel I accomplished much. The preparations I have made for the severe weather, is: blankets near the closet I would evacuate to. All the important folders for identifications and the folders include my source of money to the bank. Water, and non-perishable foods, and what action steps to take. I felt a little more responsible after last night. I couldn’t believe (last night’s thoughts), how lacksidaisical I have been on all these watches and warnings! I feel like I have been an ignoramus, and pulled my family all along with me. I am glad I awoke to these threats. Because given any huge storm, statistically speaking, or patternwise–the storm knows noone. and will do any damage it pleases. To be aware of the fact and to actually understand that I am no one special to the storms, I felt a little older and more responsible, due to the fact that I started preparing and making plans. Yet I also felt a little retarded because it took almost 20 years for me to understand the importance of the weathermen at those times, and the interruption. So, all that said. We survived, and I fell asleep a couple hours before the storms were to be abated. I stayed awake as long as I could, making plans, listening to the weather forecast. I finally let myself fall sway to the night when the man on top of the weather news and informing every minute of every hour since the storm started, finally chose to take leave to go home and sleep. If he is comfortable enough to relax from the minute-to-minute storm chasing, I felt that I could do the same. If there were any changes, my radio is still on very low volume, and the signal for severe weather, should be loud and irritating enough to wake me up. Not to mention i decided to fall asleep on my tiny, two-person couch, which is amazingly uncomfortable, but, position-wise, farthest from the window in my room. safe, at least. and only a foot from the closet:)
wasting time!
