Please pray for the City of Los Angeles. It's on fire right now. 100,000 people are under evacuation in the Palisades and Hollywood Hills right now. If you live in an evacuation zone, just go, it's not worth risking your life to save your property.

@Glory_feeling2 my cousin evacuated due to the air quality being horrific, his girlfriend has severe asthma, they are going up to stay with a friend in Seattle in the meantime. My friend from NJ, she evacuated, and she was in a mandatory evacuation zone, and more than likely her house is gone.

@CooperHChurch Hi! Yes, I heard about that. A lot of celebs lost their homes.
            Luckily I don't live in So Cal ( that's how I call it). I'm in the central portion ... many miles away. But it is weird, cause it's not Summer, so how did a wildfire begin? And the Santa Ana winds are so fierce, that it's spreading around Los Angeles. Have some relatives over there, hope they took shelter!

I am officially graduated. Today I received my Bachelor of Science in Health Service Administration from UCF. I will say, the commencement was longer than my brothers were. It lasted a full 4 hours start to finish. The shocking part was the amount of Doctoral degrees being awarded, that took up over half the ceremony, and there were about 50 students receiving that. The commencement lasted long enough that when the president of UCF announced they had another speaker, you could hear the crowd audibly sigh. The next announcement of a second speaker resulted in an audible moan from the crowd.
          
          I got a good laugh at it.

@CooperHChurch Congratulations on getting your Diploma. Let me guess, did you opt for the graduation ceremony where all the majors were presented? My brother chose that one when he graduated which lasted for nearly 3 and a half hours due to the speakers. For me, I opted only for my batch as my degree was for mainly teachers and the arts which only lasted for half an hour. (And for those who want to say it... a Liberal Arts degree isn't the best to get in College but you gain a lot of knowledge )... As my BA degree was in Multi-disciplinary subjects ( this was before STEM - -> Science, Technology, Engineering and Math core was created ... I think I could have attempted that major.
            
            I studied almost every subject but not with flying colors. I'm just an indecisive person.
             
            Anyway, good luck with that degree and wish you luck on making good use of it!
