It's Raining Men

Well my Sunday was absolutely boring, I did not step one foot outside the house and worked on homework all day. The only thing that made Sunday exciting was that my upstairs neighbor Martin came over for a bit. He's about 2 years old, brown curly hair, dark brown eyes, and speaks Spanish which makes him the cutest thing ever.

Monday started out normal, cloudy out, chilly, and too lazy to bring a jacket. I went to my two classes for the, ate lunch, and headed home... in the rain. All was fine until I got off my second bus and had to walk 20 min home, uphill. For those of you who knew me in high school you might be familiar with the fact that I refused to walk home in anything that wasn't 68.5 degrees, sunny but slightly cloudy to prevent burning, and a breeze at about 7MPH. So we'll just say I rarely walked home and I live two blocks from school.

As it was raining, not misting or sprinkling, full on raining I had no jacket like I said but I did have my trusty Wal-Mart Zebra umbrella that I flipped inside out last week with a small gust of wind. So to start the trip it was already kinda broken but still usable. First the idea was, walk on the curb, puddles don't sit on curbs. Bad bad bad. Speeding cars drove past me and I had to dodge many sprays of water. Then the idea was, walk on the sidewalk like a normal person. Bad bad bad. Puddles everywhere, and no not your childhood dog named "Puddles", actual standing bodies of water EVERYWHERE. Of course I almost worse my semi-waterproof boots today but opted for the fabric, easily soak-able  tennis shoes. By this time my feet are goners.

So now I had to cross the roads, could I run? No, too risky. Too many puddles to watch out for and the increased wind speed might flip my umbrella. So I stood on the sidewalk for what felt like a year just waiting for a space in traffic to cross. Standing there, like a sad, wet dog still wearing my backpack on the front to try and keep it dry...picture it and just try not to laugh.

Walking up the huge hill by my house I discovered a new waterfall! Right in the middle of the sidewalk, how cool. Wonder how much that was to put in, so I walked right through it, after all my socks and shoes were already soaked. By this point I'm 3 min from home and about 99.9% soaked but hey, I wasn't sweating for once so might as well call it a plus for the day.
