So THIS is what they meant when they said, "definitely bring an umbrella." The chosen people who wrote the Old Testament must have envisioned Bloomington when they wrote about the great flood. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against rain. I think it helped me to get one of the best sleeps I've had in the past few weeks. But I lost my umbrella last week (when I thought it was going to rain, but didn't). So I was contemplating whether or not I wanted to even go to class this morning. I mean, going to class may be priceless, but getting your books wet means you have to pay a lot of money to get new books. After 20 minutes of asking people in the bathroom if they had an umbrella, I resigned myself to just staying in the dorm today. That is, until Troy the janitor came along. BLING! TROY! Do you have an giant trash bag? Yeah, I walked around today with a giant blue trash bag/poncho. It was great. Between classes I ended up buying an umbrella, but it's broken already. Cheap IU stuff. I want some high quality made in China umbrellas damnit! Unfortunately, even with my poncho, even if I had an umbrella, my shoes got soaked. Walking across campus, through giant puddles, there's no avoiding a good toe-soaking. And so my feet were in their personal saunas for 5 hours :( tired. sleep is going to take me over.
