So yesterday it rained its' ass off here in Maryland. I had the displeasure of driving to school in all of the rainy goodness. It was one of those days where you could barely see the vehicle in front of you. So anyway, after I took my sweet time motoring to campus...I pulled into a parking space...turned off the ignition...and just sat there. After sitting for about 15 minutes, I realize that the time will come when I have to get out of this car. Luckily for me, I DID have a small umbrella. Unluckily for me, it was in my trunk. I devised a devious plot to rush out the door...pop the trunk...grab my umbrella...and open my umbrella in one quick motion to avoid maximum saturation. My plot was foiled, however, when I realized the instant I got out of the car...it wasn't your typical everyday rain. It was as if King Neptune himself was smiting me down with all of the earth's oceans. The fact that the rain was coming down at a weird, almost horizontal angle seemed to negate most of the protection that my umbrella could offer me. At this point, I pretty much said "fuck it" and started walking as fast as I could toward the building that housed my class. It was some time between me saying "fuck it" and me hulling ass toward my class that I realized that UMBC was the puddle capitol of the world. It wasn't even like these puddles were sporadically placed...the entire parking lot and sidewalk was one big puddle. The sidewalk was fucking flowing. I'm talking about the kind of flowage that would cause a salmon to say "Damn, I'm not migrating up this bitch." So after purchasing a scuba tank and suiting up..I finally made it into the building. I made my way across the "caution wet floor" and went down some steps. About ten minutes later, our teacher shows up and tells us that we have changed classrooms for the day. I bet you can't guess where this new destination was located...that's right...back outside...across more campus. It wasn't really that bad by this point though. The rain had slowed down to a light sprinkle...I made it to class...didn't slip...and I didn't even see Noah's arc...not even once. So all in all...I guess it was more amusing than annoying.

i find it amusing as well.
it's funny when other people get drowned in all the rain. it's happened to me a dozen times.

how about changing the size of that video so people can actually read your blog without having to copy and paste it to another location?

cheers,

I told you how funny it would be if you had to swim to class in your swim suit. and here it is just slightly changed in this blog. :-P

awe
it's too bad you don't have one of those cars with the back seats that pull down to access the trunk. :(
