A good rainy day is spent curled up on the couch with a good movie/book, a bowl of soup, and hopefully some good friends to share it with. Sadly, my rainy days are never spent that way. Yesterday, I spent all morning working on my papers for one class. (Ok not so bad to start out, but just wait. . .) When I go to leave, I realize my umbrella is in the back of my roommate's car. She already left for school. (Now, it is getting good) So, I run out to the car and drive to school. Upon arriving, I realize that the papers I spent all morning on are still sitting on the table in my room. Normally, I would take the grief and turn them in late since I was already running late (& the downpour rain!), but this was workshop day. On workshop day, if you do not have your papers, you are counted absent. So, I turn the car around & get the papers. I get out of my car and realize that the bus to the top of the hill is already here. . . so I run. I walked into my class right as it is starting. (Crisis averded) This class got out early so I went and sat in front of my next classroom.(FINALLY things are looking up!) I pull out my book to catch up on the reading I didn't do. My book for this class is a two volume set. Yesterday, we started work in volume b. I had volume a with me. (dum dum dum) So I sat through class without knowing what we were talking about at all. Finally, class is over & the weekend has begun. (no Friday classes! yay!) The only thing seperating me from the joys of a few days without classes is the walk down the hill in the pouring rain without an umbrella. By the time I got to my car, every inch of my body (& my bag) are soaked.
The best thing about my last rainy day, is that it is over! I think Jo Dee Messina describes my feelings best in her song "Bring On the Rain".
