The great drama of today was the rain showers. I awoke to my roomie Jen's alarm clock, at 7am. As is custom, I'll softly yawn and say good morning, bidding dear Jen off to her way. This morning we both heard thunder and pouring. I made the comment  of how sad I was to realise I had not brought an umbrella or a raincoat. I went back to sleep, you see my alarm is set for 8:30am since all my classes start at 11am. In that space of time before classes, I have allotted space for reflection, preparation, and relishing a yummy yogurt & granola breakfast. I dressed as best I could for what waited for me outside. Into the grey sky I went. True, I was semi-drenched by the time I reached class, but I liked it. Walking down the long slim Morgan Street, the trees and mist, the drops on my face, my soul felt this animalistic impulse. I felt free, and alive. For a few minutes I wasn't in Chicago, I was in a forest where I was Eve. In reality I was heading for my Economy 120 class(microeconmics) first.

Still yet, it rained on. I decided to do my swimming hour between the time Economy class ended and Psychology 210(personality) would begin 2 hours later. It was awesome because not many are at the gym around 12:30pm. What a treat, a pool all to myself.

Now the day is finished, and I am safely inside as the rain pours on. Rain doesn't neccssarily cloud the day, it actually clears it up. Depends on how you take it. In nature the rain cleans things up, and waste is just transported elsewhere. Far away you can travel with your imagination, you can get lost in your thoughts, hypnotically distant and soo intune with yourself. Thunder is truly scary, but it is all natural, and inside tucked in your niche of school work and roomies, you see the separation between man and nature with the structureof a building over you. But when you face it, thunder and weather are one with you if you don't let negative charges take over you. The light of another day's promise is what keeps everyone going. It just can't be sunny all the time.
