Ugh, its like a torrential downpour here (warning: whiney post)

[Kathleen04]

in Long Island. I'm supposed to go to class today--I was teetering on the edge of not going anyways, I'm unprepared and irritable..

So I decide to go and I get halfway there (15 min walk and I have an umbrella with me) and my jeans/shoes are soaked, my left arm is getting soaked despite the umbrella--I got to this part where it was kinda flooded. Long story short, I gave up.

I'm from Southern CA and rain stops me from going to class. So pathetic and so frustrating! I'm only allowed to miss 1 day and had some tentative pre-planned stuff where I might miss a day already. x(

I'm crossing my fingers that maybe the Professor didn't go to class either.

1. You're right, that IS whiney

It's water. Soak it up

[Kathleen04]

7. I know..boo hoo..

If I wasn't so moody already, it wouldn't bother me.

Any consolation, I ran into 2 classmates on the way back who were staring through the windows of the Student Center building contemplating whether to even try or not.

At least I tried and got soaked, THEN gave up. They were still dry. ;)

2. I'd kill for rain!

None here in over two weeks.

(well, 1/4 inch or so, but virtually none)

[Missy M]

4. So would I, none here to speak of in weeks and it is so....

%$&*#@* hot here I can't stand it.

[Kathleen04]

10. I'll work on

sending some up to you, Missy M. :)

[Missy M]

18. Thanks Kathleen, I'll be waiting!!!!

3. You wouldn't do well here where we

have afternoon showers, well, almost every afternoon. And I mean afternoon thunderstorms with lightening and heavy rain.

[Kathleen04]

12. Yeah I suspect I wouldn't

Where I'm from rain becomes an excuse for staying home.

I love the look and feel of a rainy day though, but I wouldn't be able to be productive in it.

[Shell Beau]

14. It can be hard to be productive, but

our afternoon storms usually blow over after about an hour or so and out comes the sun again. But we do get horrible tornadoes and other horrible storms here.

5. I'd love a day of rain.

We've been dry as a bone down here.

[Kathleen04]

11. It looks really pretty and nice

I just wish I wasn't supposed to walk to class.

8. Here's a hint: Don't wear jeans.

You'll feel better faster.

[Kathleen04]

13. Yeah,

That was a major part of the problem--too bad I don't own anything else.

[Mizmoon]

15. That was major lightening

I saw it too. But it's over now and you have to go to class :)

[Kathleen04]

16. Yeah, maybe I'll change and try

to drive down there. LOL

[Mizmoon]

17. Aren't we a buncha hard asses? LOL

You're grown. Sit in your underpants and eat ice cream all day if it makes you happy :)

[Kathleen04]

19. haha,

I actually did go..made it there mostly dry this time. Glad I did because now I'm on the attendence and can take that planned future day off I had without any undue stress. :)

Underpants and ice cream, huh? I'll consider that for the remainder of the day. ;)
