Rain Rain Go Away

This is my first post on my new blog that hopefully people will read. If you are reading it, comment! Leave me messages! ^.^

So today it rained like never before. The constant downpour last night almost kept me up all night but thankfully only woke me up once this morning at 4:45. I promptly fell asleep again when the thunder finished booming.

Unfortunately, I had a full day of school today, and the rain still fell hard against the earth. Plus, I have no car to drive, because the one I do drive has been having problems with its radiator fluid (in other words, leaking). So my dad had to drive me to school in my mom's van, then drive back home so he could get driven to work by my mom. It didn't occur to me until today how much humans depend on electronic devices such as cars. Kind of a quiet revelation on my way to school.

When I arrived the school seemed almost deserted. There were a few kids getting rained on and a couple who were intelligent enough to stand under the awning. I decided that I really didn't want to get my AP notebooks wet so I made the journey all the way across the school to my AP classrooms. The sky above looked too gloomy and absymal to my taste, and the wet wind bit my exposed skin though I tried to hide behind protective pillars.

I got to the AP rooms within a few minutes and only one other person was standing there huddled behind her umbrella. We talked for a few minutes about a blog she has (http://17muses.blogspot.com/) when finally our English teacher showed up and unlocked his door. We, and another friend of mine who had shown up a few minutes before, rushed into the classroom before we could get rained on anymore.

My classes were spent in a sleepy stupor -- first block was especially difficult to get through because we had to turn off all the lights for the projector to work and it was pitch black in there due to the clouds outside. I almost fell asleep, but I forced my eyes open to focus on my teacher's face, which I could barely see. Thankfully the power didn't go out until around 3:15 or 3:20 in the afternoon. My teacher, having nothing else to give us that didn't require use of power, let us go early.

I would have liked this prospect much better if it weren't for the fact that I had to stay at the school until five anyway because of Chamber Singers. But I dealt with that and spent my free time in the band room until school officially ended. 

Chamber Singers was an epic fail because none of the newbies except for Karen and Becca showed up. I really hate that, because our teacher sent a message over Facebook to everyone reminding them about rehearsal and they still didn't come. I really feel as if we should just remove those people for being ignorant and forgetful, because it really sets us back and we only have one practice per week. I wouldn't mind having another practice per week, but trying to find a day that works for all twelve girls is impossible.

We all left early though, which brightened my mood. Poor Becca's road was flooded so she had to go and since only seven of us came we just decided to call it a day. The rest of my day isn't that interesting, to be honest. I babysat for a little, role played a little, and talked to friends a little. Then I wrote this post.

So, now that I have no more to say, I'm going to head off and go do homework. Toodles.
